Scope Note

The materials in this collection come from a 2019 exhibit on the Spanish Civil War that took place in the University of Chicago Library, curated by Rafael Cruz Gil and Néstor de Buen Altorre. The collection contains various materials from the exhibit along with their corresponding placards, as well as papers and artifacts from four generations of Néstor de Buen Altorre's family tree spanning from his maternal great-great-great-great grandfather Fernando Lozano Montes, to his paternal grandfather Néstor de Buen Lozano, son of Demófilo de Buen Lozano. The materials closely follow Odón de Buen y del Cos and his son Demófilo de Buen Lozano, who were both exiled from Spain and fled to Mexico, and later Panama, respectively. Included in the collection are correspondence, Spanish anti-fascist publications, first-hand accounts of the de Buen's travel and post-exile life, as well as Mexican issued government ID's. This collection would be of interest to historians researching Spanish nationals who were exiled to Mexico following Francisco Franco's rise to power.
