Santander Collection of Hispanic Comics and Graphic Literature

The Santander Collection of Hispanic Comics and Graphic Literature is a unique collection focusing on graphic literature written in Spanish or taking the Spanish-speaking world as its subject matter. It covers materials from both Spanish America and Spain. Founded in 2011, the collection’s aim is to make available to undergraduate students, graduate students and researchers recent in-print titles (including books and journals analysing graphic literature) and older materials of an underexplored form of literature. The collection receives funding through the Santander Universities programme and is curated by the School.

The collection’s holdings are integrated into Cardiff University’s Arts and Social Studies Library (Cathays Campus, Colum Drive) and can be accessed directly on the third floor. For a complete overview of the titles currently comprising the collection, follow the link to the Voyager Library Catalogue.

Enquiries from potential visiting scholars and graduate students are welcome.

NB: Please note that the library also has significant holdings in the area of comics and graphic literature that do not relate specifically to the Spanish-speaking world and are therefore not part of the Santander Collection.
