The CIDOC Collection
Until now it has been impossible to develop the study of religion in modern Latin America. The
imprints of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that reflect local devotions and syncretist
rituals, religious iconography and poetry, and the pastoral campaigns of the various churches
and sects, went uncollected and unnoticed until the early 1960s, when Ivan Illich began to
search for them and to collect them in the CIDOC Library of Cuernavaca, Mexico. The filming
of a selection of material from this collection has been done in many libraries throughout
Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina and Chile.
