Oversized Advertisements and Mounted Material

Series II: Posters and Oversized Materials, 1948-2018, undated Boxes 156-164 and map case drawers 36-44

This series can be seen as a continuation of the Artists Files, but with material that does not fit in standard document boxes. There are two exceptions to this: the majority of boxes, including the oversized ones, for Little Joe Hernandez (boxes 33-46) and Selena (boxes 121-142) are housed within Series I: Artists Files due to the sheer quantity of material, but as with all artists, materials related to them can be found in many series.

As mentioned, mounted posters are those adhered to foamcore for easier display, possibly for exhibit in Hernández’s Hispanic Entertainment Archive.

This series is divided into Artist Posters, Mounted Posters, Concert Posters, and Oversized Material
