El Salvador Research Guide
At the Archives our collections have many strengths. One of these strengths is the coverage of El Salvador and its civil war during the 1980s and 1990s. You might be surprised that you can find archival information about a small Central American country here at the Archives but Congressman Joe Moakley, who worked closely with Salvadorans and Salvadoran refugees during the 1980s and 1990s, donated his personal papers to the Archives in 2001. Since a substantial portion of his papers deal with his work in, with and for El Salvador, we have created a research guide to help you navigate directly to the primary and secondary resources we have or have identified in other places.

Suffolk students have the opportunity to carry out Joe Moakley’s mission to the people of El Salvador through a partnership between the Moakley Archive and Institute and the SOULS office. Students spend 7-14 days on Alternative Spring or Winter breaks helping Salvadoran communities Moakley worked closely with. Students typically do construction, listen and learn from Salvadoran officials and locals- experiences during their Civil War and foster relationships. If you are interested in the 2009 trip contact the Moakley Institute at 617-305-6295 or the SOULS office at 617-305-6306.
