A close up of a newspaper

Description automatically generatedPHOENIX – Two Spanish-language newspapers titled El Imparcial were published out of Phoenix, Arizona during the 1930s and 1950s. Though unrelated and established by two different men, both newspapers covered the local news of the Mexican American community, including politics, events, sports, and the work of local civic organizations. News about community members, such as weddings, births, and deaths, were also covered by both newspapers. The earlier version of El Imparcial also covered labor news and civic protests, while the later version covered the local arts scene by publishing poetry and other literature as well as local music events.

 

“Though unrelated to each other, and published almost 20 years apart, these two Spanish-language newspapers shared the same name. Both provided an intimate look at the Mexican American community in Phoenix, and, another similarity, both featured activities of local civic organizations such as Junta Patriótica and Alianza Hispano Americana,” Sativa Peterson, National Digital Newspaper Program grant project director and news content program manager for the State of Arizona Research Library, said.  

 

This is just one of the seven Spanish-language newspaper titles that were digitized and added to the Arizona Memory Project by the Arizona State Library in partnership with the University of Arizona Libraries, thanks to the National Endowment for the Humanities and Library of Congress’ National Digital Newspaper Program. Sixty issues of both papers cover the years 1937-1938 and 1956 and will be available indefinitely and for free on any digital device at http://go.azsos.gov/elimparcial.

 

For questions about this or any digital collection, or for cultural institutions interested in sharing collections on the Arizona Memory Project, contact [email protected].

 


The Arizona Memory Project provides free online access to the wealth of primary sources in Arizona archives, museums, libraries, and other cultural institutions. The Arizona Memory Project is supported by the Arizona State Library, Archives & Public Records, a division of the Secretary of State, with federal funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Dos periódicos con el mismo nombre: más periódicos en español ahora en el Proyecto de Memoria de Arizona

A close up of a newspaper

Description automatically generatedPHOENIX – Dos periódicos en español titulados El Imparcial fueron publicados en Phoenix, Arizona durante las décadas de 1930 y 1950. Aunque no están relacionados y fueron establecidos por dos hombres diferentes, ambos periódicos cubrieron las noticias locales de la comunidad mexicana-estadounidense, incluyendo la política, los eventos locales, deportes y el trabajo de organizaciones cívicas locales. La versión anterior de El Imparcial también cubrió noticias laborales y protestas cívicas, mientras que la versión posterior cubrió la escena artística local mediante la publicación de poesía y otra literatura, y también eventos musicales locales.

"Aunque no estaban relacionados, y se publicaron casi 20 años de diferencia, estos dos periódicos en español compartían el mismo nombre. Ambos proporcionaron una mirada íntima a la comunidad mexicoamericana en Phoenix, y, otra similitud, ambos presentaron actividades de organizaciones cívicas locales como Junta Patriótica y Alianza Hispano Americana", dijo Sativa Peterson, la directora del proyecto de subvención del Programa Nacional de Periódicos Digitales y gerente del programa de contenido de noticias para la Biblioteca de Investigación del Estado de Arizona.

Este es sólo uno de los siete títulos de periódicos en español que fueron digitalizados y agregados al Proyecto de Memoria de Arizona por la Biblioteca Estatal de Arizona en asociación con las Bibliotecas de la Universidad de Arizona, gracias a la Dotación Nacional para las Humanidades y el Programa Nacional de Periódicos Digitales de la Biblioteca del Congreso. Sesenta ediciones de ambos periódicos cubren los años 1937-1938 y 1956 y estarán disponibles indefinidamente y de forma gratuita en cualquier dispositivo digital en http://go.azsos.gov/elimparcial.

Para preguntas sobre esta o cualquier colección digital, o para instituciones culturales interesadas en compartir colecciones con el Proyecto de Memoria de Arizona, comuníquese con [email protected].


El Proyecto de Memoria de Arizona proporciona acceso gratuito en línea a la gran cantidad de fuentes primarias en los archivos, museos, bibliotecas y otras instituciones culturales de Arizona. El Proyecto de Memoria de Arizona está apoyado por la Biblioteca, Archivos y Registros Públicos del Estado de Arizona, una división de la Secretaría de Estado, con fondos federales del Instituto de Servicios de Museos y Bibliotecas.
