  • As part of the work of the Collaboration with the AGPR/BNPR, archivist Juan Roman explained his recovery work and very recent display of the materials recovered form the internal library of Fomento Economico de Puerto Rico.  Soon to be on the shelves of the main Reading Room of the AGPR, the collection includes hundreds of internal and limited circulation reports on Puerto Rico's agriculture, electrical grid,local eco-systems, factory construction, hotel construction, urban planning, sugar industry, and so forth.  Archivist Pedro Roig alerted us about this important collection.

This is truly an extraordinary collection.  The material is already available to researchers.

The Rutgers/Yale students will likely produce a list of these publications and perhaps have time to scan some of them for the Digital Publications part of the project.

If your institution is able to participate in this Collaboration please contact Prof. Lauria Santiago.  There are plenty of small and midsized organizing and scanning projects that we have on the horizon and are feasible within one or two semesters of paid research assistant interns, usually local students.
