IN-DEPTH INFORMATION ABOUT THE COLLECTION Biographical History: Vincent Livelli, an Italian American collector of Latin music, was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1920. In the 1930s, Livelli heard the sounds of Spanish Harlem on the radio and immediately became hypnotized. He has dedicated his life to documenting the social and performance culture of Latinos in New York City. Scope and Content: The materials were collected by Vincent Livelli primarily in New York City. The collection dates from 1991 to 2006 and documents Latino entertainment including music, dance, theater, film and festivals. It is a valuable source of information about activities created for people who were interested in the Latino culture during this time. These materials were generally used for the duration of the event, and more than likely, were intended to be discarded later. System of Arrangement: The collection is arranged in two series: Series 1, Ephemera, 1994–2006, undated, includes advertisements, flyers, tickets, newspaper and magazine articles, brochures, photographs, tickets, programs, announcements, press releases and other forms of ephemera. The materials are arranged by subject. Series 2, Scrapbook, 1991-1999, undated, includes photographs, tickets, printed advertisements, obituaries, a list of Afro Cuban terms, newspaper clippings, and programs compiled in a scrapbook.
