The Latin American Library's collection contains imprints from the earliest printed European works about the New World, to the most recent publications from and about the region. The earliest printed work in the collection is a first edition of Pietro Martire d'Anghiera's De orbe nouo decades (Alcala, Spain, 1516). The collection houses nine Mexican incunabula, the earliest of which is Maturino Gilberti's Diálago de doctrina christiana, en la lengua de Mechuaca (Mexico City, Mexico, 1559).
