Under Huntington's direct supervision,
the Hispanic Society published more
than 200 monographs by the Society's
curators and internationally noted
scholars on virtually all facets of
Hispanic culture.

From its inception, the Hispanic Society has held important exhibitions beginning in 1909 with that of the Spanish painter Sorolla. |
