Background of the San Antonio Poetry Archive at Palo Alto College

The San Antonio Poetry Archive, which began in 2015, was an initiative led by former city and state poet laureate Laurie Ann Guerrero to capture and preserve San Antonio’s literary voice as manifested through the poetry community.  The San Antonio Poetry Archive is committed to preserving the records of local poets and poetry organizations in their original formats, including manuscripts, archives, artifacts, and other media. It serves as the repository for special collections materials in the Ozuna Library at Palo Alto College including a supporting book collection with over 150 volumes by 35 different poets.
