The following is a listing of articles, reports, academic dissertations by community members, graduate students and academics whom have been conducting research in the Hispanic Community.

     All these works, and others have been collected through the years to build a picture of the history and development of the Hispanic fact in Canada. To a great extent this archival work has been the response of HDC to the problem of the lack of information and documentation sources and a way to contribute to the building of the community's history. At the same time, this work reflects the capacity of many researchers whose work, although, used many times as a reference, the work has been seldom cited. Finally, this work has been compiled as a body in an effort to recognize particularly researchers from the Spanish speaking community who have, through their work contributed to the advancement of our interests in terms of building the rationale for inputs into policy analysis, policy development and service foci.

     The largest number of these sources is the product of graduate students joining projects or research teams at HDC dedicated to study specific aspects of life in the community.

     In this twenty fifth anniversary of the Hispanic Development Council, we avail ourselves of the opportunity to inform the community about the work done by the Council itself or the work of others that has informed our practical work since the beginning of the eighties. In addition, we, at HDC, have to report that beginning June 2003 will begin the publication of new resources directly in Internet so that they will be of use to those interested in first hand knowledge regarding the Hispanic, Latino Community of Canada and related topics.

     Finally, it will be our pleasure to accept works of other interested writers, researchers who may like to include their titles on the listing that follows.
