The Héctor Santiago Papers collection includes only part of his literary anthology, with future additions expected. The Papers include scripts, essays, short stories, reviews, clippings, and theater programs. Additionally, the collection contains personal and professional correspondence, interviews, awards, and financial records. Some scripts and stories written by Santiago in 1960s were excavated from the ground beneath a tree in Cuba where they had been buried for more than 20 years. In order to preserve these original typescripts, photocopies have been made for perusal. Also of interest is a group of letters written by Santiago’s fellow prisoners in UMAP.
Personal and professional correspondence, financial records, contracts, programs, honors and awards, and clippings about Santiago's works. The UMAP letters in this series have been photocopied for preservation purposes.
