Inventory of Research Collections on Puerto Rico History
In an effort to bring together varied and constantly changing research resources for the study of Puerto Rico history and society, the Workshop on the History of Puerto Rico has created this list of highly specialized resources for researchers.
The list includes guides as well as digitized archival collections.
The list will be updated frequently so please visit it regularly. Send us suggestions for resources. Write to Prof. Lauria Santiago for suggestions. For regular updates please subscribe to our email list on the main page of the Puerto Rico Archival Collaboration.
