Arquivo Edgard Leuenroth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arquivo Edgard Leuenroth is a historical and media archive which is maintained by the Brazilian State University of Campinas (Universidade Estadual de Campinas - Unicamp), located in the city of Campinas, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. It was started by a donation of the media collection assembled by Brazilian journalist and publisher Edgard Leuenroth.
The Arquivo Edgard Leuenroth has the largest collection of materials regarding social movements, counter-culture, and other alternative cultural movements in Brazil. This collection is, therefore, very much appreciated by researchers from all over the world because they present a non-official view and understanding of Brazil in the last century. Among others, the Feminist Movement (or the Movimento Feminista) and the Homosexual Movement (or the Movimento Homossexual), in this case the Grupo Gay da Bahia), are among the many collections being maintained by the Arquivo Edgard Leuenroth of the State University of Campinas.
