The Boehrer Luso-Brazilian
Collection
The George C.A. Boehrer collection, acquired in 1968
and named in honor of the late professor of Luso-Brazilian history,
is devoted to the Liberal period of Portuguese history, a time of
great turbulence in Portugal and its overseas empire. The printed
material (some 800 volumes of official gazettes, contemporary newspapers,
broadsides, manifestoes, and pamphlets) provides supporting material
for the manuscripts which constitute the major part of the collection.
