In this blog post, students will learn some of the ways in which Americans learned about Mexico from some examples in the Archives Center's collections. In the years prior to World War II, most Americans had limited first-hand experience of Mexico. Mexico primarily was known as a place for American financial investment and as a land of frequent political turmoil. Written Craig Orr, Aquistions Archivist at the Archives Center, this post is published on the Museum's "O Say Can You See?" blog.
