About the Collection
The American Popular Revolutionary Alliance Party (Alianza Popular Revolucionaria Americana or APRA) is the oldest existing Peruvian political party. Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre founded the party in Mexico City in 1924 with the aims of creating a Pan-American movement aligned with anti-imperialist ideologies.
The American Popular Revolutionary Alliance Party collection contains photographs and publications that document the history of APRA, including photographs of key figures, demonstrations, and party meetings, as well as a collection of first edition publications, rare early pamphlets, and collected periodicals created by, for, and about APRA. The majority of the collection consists of Spanish-language materials which span from the period just before the founding of the party in the early 1920s until the late 1980s.
