  • -  One of the favorite dishes of Mexicans from all latitudes, from the southern United States to the southern border of the country, are the so-called carnitas. The "Michoacán Style" carnitas are especially requested. It is pork fried for long hours in its own fat, from which parts of lean meat are obtained, without bone, or skin called solid. The nana comes from the uterus of the females, from nenepil which is the combination of nana and buche, and assorted they are a combination. The animal's own skin takes advantage of calling it cueritos. It is customary in Michoacán towns to first try some of the cueritos, which can be soft and gelatinous, or the pork rinds, which are already a spongy, crunchy, and laminated kind. The carnitas are prepared in large copper saucepans whose manufacture was introduced in Michoacán by the famous humanist Vasco de Quiroga in the 16th century. Carnitas are eaten in corn tortilla tacos and are served with spicy sauces.
  • -  Note in Spanish: Una de los platillos favoritos de los mexicanos de todas las latitudes son las llamadas carnitas; desde el sur de los EEUU hasta la frontera sur del país son especialmente solicitadas las "Carnitas Estilo MIchoacán." Se trata de cerdo frito durante largas horas en su propia grasa, de donde se obtienen partes de carne magra, sin hueso, ni piel denominada maciza, la nana proviene del útero de las hembras, de nenepil que es la combinación de nana y buche, y de surtida que son una combinación. La propia piel del animal ase aprovecha llamándola cueritos. Es costumbre el pueblos Michoacános primero probar algo de los cueritos que puedenn ser blandos y gelatinosos o los chicharrones que son ya una especie esponjosa, crujiente y laminada. Las carnitas se preparan en grandes cazos de cobre cuya fabricación fue introducida en Michoacán por el celebre humanista Vasco de Quiroga en el siglo XVI. Las carnitas se comen en tacos de tortillas de maíz y se acompañan con salsas picantes.

Alternatively, you can purchase copies of various types through Library of Congress Duplication Services.

  1. If a digital image is displaying: The qualities of the digital image partially depend on whether it was made from the original or an intermediate such as a copy negative or transparency. If the Reproduction Number field above includes a reproduction number that starts with LC-DIG..., then there is a digital image that was made directly from the original and is of sufficient resolution for most publication purposes.
  2. If there is information listed in the Reproduction Number field above: You can use the reproduction number to purchase a copy from Duplication Services. It will be made from the source listed in the parentheses after the number.

    If only black-and-white ("b&w") sources are listed and you desire a copy showing color or tint (assuming the original has any), you can generally purchase a quality copy of the original in color by citing the Call Number listed above and including the catalog record ("About This Item") with your request.

Access to Originals

Please use the following steps to determine whether you need to fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room to view the original item(s). In some cases, a surrogate (substitute image) is available, often in the form of a digital image, a copy print, or microfilm.

  1. Is the item digitized? (A thumbnail (small) image will be visible on the left.)

    • Yes, the item is digitized. Please use the digital image in preference to requesting the original. All images can be viewed at a large size when you are in any reading room at the Library of Congress. In some cases, only thumbnail (small) images are available when you are outside the Library of Congress because the item is rights restricted or has not been evaluated for rights restrictions.
      As a preservation measure, we generally do not serve an original item when a digital image is available. If you have a compelling reason to see the original, consult with a reference librarian. (Sometimes, the original is simply too fragile to serve. For example, glass and film photographic negatives are particularly subject to damage. They are also easier to see online where they are presented as positive images.)
    • No, the item is not digitized. Please go to #2.

  2. Do the Access Advisory or Call Number fields above indicate that a non-digital surrogate exists, such as microfilm or copy prints?

    • Yes, another surrogate exists. Reference staff can direct you to this surrogate.
    • No, another surrogate does not exist. Please go to #3.
  3. If you do not see a thumbnail image or a reference to another surrogate, please fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room. In many cases, the originals can be served in a few minutes. Other materials require appointments for later the same day or in the future. Reference staff can advise you in both how to fill out a call slip and when the item can be served.

To contact Reference staff in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room, please use our Ask A Librarian service or call the reading room between 8:30 and 5:00 at 202-707-6394, and Press 3.
