Director Javier Almeyda, UPR Colección Puertorriqueña, began work in July with five Mellon and one Dominican Studies Institute interns placed by the Rutgers/Puerto Rico Archival Collaboration. Interns worked organizing old and new periodical collections in the basement area of the Collection. They have also been working digitizing issues of the Gaceta de Puerto Rico and preparing other materials for digitization, including materials originating in the library of Fomento Económico/PRIDCO.
