Scope and content:

A collection of valuable early and sometimes ephemeral printed material on social and political conditions in Chile organized into the following subgroups: Clippings, Comics, Other Printed Material, and Serials.

Clippings are from Chile- and U.S.-based publications. Most of the Chilean clippings are from El Mercurio, Chile's largest newspaper which is alleged to have undermined the Allende government with its editorial stance. Other titles represented include La Nacion, La Prensa, 3ra De La Hora. English language clippings come from the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post, as well as the Washington D.C.-based Daily Rag, The Eagle (student newspaper of American University), the Fond Du Lac Reporter (Wisconsin), and the Rocky Mountain News (Denver, CO).

A collection of Spanish language Comics are represented in the collection. With the exception of copies of Archiand El Condorito, all are leftist and explicitly political. These include La Firme and La Firme Extra, Documentos Especiale, and a comic book explaining how to vote.

Pamphlets, conference materials, scholarly articles, and monographs are grouped in Other Printed Material.

Serials in the Patrick Ahern Files date from the period leading up to the 1973 coup through the late 1970s. These include a mostly complete run of Chile Hoy (1971-1973) and Mensaje (1971-1976), and numerous issues of Ercilla and Solidaridad.
