Chile Photographic File

The collection consists of 223 slides and 77 photographs taken during the last years of the Pinochet regime in Chile. Included are images of pro-democracy, anti-dictatorship, and human rights demonstrations; political graffiti; and various presidential and senatorial campaigning and celebrating (Aylwin, Büchi, Errázuriz, Lagos, Piñera, Palestro, Frei, etc.). There are also slides showing the casting of votes and of the general ambience during the elections.

Two main sections: 1) photographs (8/9/1984-5/1/1990), arranged chronologically, which generally concern anti-government and human rights protests, other demonstrations, and graffiti; and 2) slides, which span the period of campaigning immediately before the elections (12/14/1989) as well as the celebrations the day after.

All photographs have captions on the back. A folder listing and an index to the slides are available.

For preservation reasons, original analog and digital media may not be read or played back in the reading room. Users may visually inspect physical media but may not remove it from its enclosure. All analog audiovisual media must be digitized to preservation-quality standards prior to use. Audiovisual digitization requests are processed by an approved third-party vendor. Please note, the transfer time required can be as little as several weeks to as long as several months and there may be financial costs associated with the process. Requests should be directed through the Ask Us Form.
