Introduction
The Latin American Library is located on the 4th floor of the Howard-Tilton Memorial Library. Neither the library's structure nor any part of its collections suffered any damage during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Before the storm, many reels of microfilm relating to Latin America were stored in the basement of the main library building. This basement flooded as a result of the storm, and a portion of the microfilm collection was damaged or lost. Approximately 85% of the microfilm was recovered and restored. We offer the following tools to assist researchers in identifying the microfilm holdings of the Latin American Library.
| Tulane University Libraries Catalog |
Many of the Latin American Library's holdings of microfilm can be identified by searching the Libraries Catalog. For those titles affected by the storm, please consult the List of Recovered and Lost Microfilm Titles Relating to Latin America (Excel document).

The microform collections of LAMP form a large pool of historical, political, linguistic, economic and geographical data and primary source materials that are not available elsewhere.
All holdings are available to Tulane University affiliates via interlibrary loan.

| LASER Union List of Microforms |
A list of the combined microform holdings of libraries who are members of the Latin America Southeast Region (LASER), a consortium of major Latin American research collections in the Southeastern United States. The list includes large sets of microforms, other than newspapers, documenting public and international affairs in the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean. Microfilm identified here may be requested via interlibrary loan.
