Catalogued and prepared by Don Lindgren

IN June 2013, Harvard Radcliffe acquired the papers of Zarela Martinez for the Schlesinger Library where they reside next of those of other pioneering women such as Amelia Earhart, Susan B. Anthony, Julia Child, Elizabeth David and Helen Keller, among others. The extensive material is in the process of being catalogued to create a word-searchable roadmap to the collection to make its content available to researchers all over the world.

In Mexico, the acquisition was national news and a great source of pride. This is the first archive of a Mexican-woman to be acquired by Harvard/Radcliffe’s Schlesinger Library.

It all started with Maurizio Guerrero’s article for the news agency Notimex:

Harvard adquiere archivo de investigaciones culinarias de la pionera en EUA de la auténtica

cocina tradicional de México, Zarela Martínez.

Then CNN Mexico reported the news and followed it with a gorgeous article

Univision did a nice piece

Marisa Cespedes’ beautifully crafted piece for Televisa covered all aspects of my career.

And yesterday’s piece in Que Tal America captures why it is so important for me to leave a

legacy:

The Tucson Estrella’ s article

But my absolute favorite article ever is from El universal
