Hispanic Heritage Month

Hispanic Heritage Month is observed from September 15 to October 15 to pay tribute to the achievements of generations who have contributed to American life.

National Hispanic Heritage Month celebrates and recognizes the contributions Hispanic innovators, authors, inventors, leaders, teachers, and artists have made to American society and culture.

The Law Library of Congress has prepared material with commentary and recommended resources for selected national observances and commemorative months. This guide provides a brief history of the laws and presidential proclamations which established National Hispanic Heritage Month.
