Latin American Studies Resources
This site appears to be created and maintained by students and faculty at Indiana University. It is crammed with information, images, and links. A lot of the links are out of date, but that's quibbling when there's so much to explore and learn from. You could spend weeks just following the live links. Check it out.

The Latina/o History Project
The Latina/o History Project explores ethnic Mexican, Puerto Rican, Dominican, Cuban, and other Latino histories in the United States, their links and divisions, their diversity, and their cultures and politics. Once you get a hang of the organization, you can find tons of information.

National Council of La Raza
The largest national Latino civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States maintains a very active website. Very little of it is strictly historical, but it is excellent for information about Latinos in the U. S. generally.

Handbook of Texas Online
There's a lot of information in such articles as Mexican Americans, Mexican Americans and Religion, and Mexican Texas. Just enter Mexican into the search engine on the site and you'll get a couple of thousand useful entries.
