Luis Manuel Bou López de Victoria (Bou) completed his summer internship at the Coleccion Puertorriquena of the UPR Library. Bou worked on the digitization of the Gaceta de Puerto Rico (19th Century) under the guidance of Javier Almeyda. He also produced a bibliography for the CPR: the Bibliografía Antillanista de la Colección Puertorriqueña.
Bou, a resident of Lares, will return to his undergraduate studies in philosophy and environmentalism at Wake Forest University.
Bou was funded by the Dominican Studies Institute of the City University of New York. DSI Director Ramona Hernandez is interested in encouraging cross island research projects. We look forward to receiving Bou back next summer.
