deposited by Nelson Vásquez Lara, the Dean of the Chilean institution created in 1928.  Specifically, the legacy is made up of twenty books that review the history of the country since its independence from the Spanish Crown, its art, geography, traditions, dances, science, the origin of its cities and its literature.

In this last section, references to two Nobel Prize winners stand out: Pablo Neruda (“Neruda Vuelve a Valparaíso,” by Sara Vial) and Gabriela Mistral (El Chile que soñamos: Gabriela Mistral y Eduardo Frei Montalva,” by Juan Guillermo Prado).
