The main library for the study of Latin American history is the Bodleian Libary. There is a small open shelf collection of classic history texts for Latin America in the Upper Camera at S.HIST.19 (on the gallery), and many more titles can be requested from the bookstack. Recent publications on Latin American history can also be found on open shelves in the Gladstone Link.

Significant collections are also held at the Latin American Centre Library, the History Faculty Library, and the Taylor Institution Library.
