Welcome to Latin American Knowledge Harvester!

Latin American Knowledge Harvester is an abstracting and indexing repository on and about Latin America. We collect mainly OAI-PMH compliant metadata (abstracts and other bibliographic information) about Latin America. We translate metadata and in some cases abstracts into English and provide links to the original full-text resources. Some partner collections are enhanced technologically and some collections are newly created and reside in the UNM Institutional Repository.

You may perform free-text searching of the metadata repository using the search box below, perform advanced search, or browse the abstract by communities & collections, titles, authors, subjects, or date. You do not need to register to use the repository, but if you want more customized services such as receiving email alerts on new items added to the collections of your interest, we encourage you to register. If you have interesting digital collections on Latin America and would like us to harvest your metadata, please contact us or refer to our project website.
