The site also benefits from an extensive range of background documentation and information on the creation, maintenance and development of this repository. Individual sections of the collection are periodically highlighted, and materials advising on the use of this repository's contents in a classroom situation are also provided.

Salvador Brau was a historian, novelist, journalist, and essayist born in the western Puerto Rican town of Cabo Rojo in 1842. This book is a compilation of journalism articles written between 1880 and 1894. The last two decades of the nineteenth century were a time of intense political ferment in Puerto Rico.

The history of Puerto Rico, from the Spanish discovery to the American occupation, - Van Middeldyk, R. A. b. 1832.; Brumbaugh, Martin Grove, 1862-1930.
Van Middledyk's work was the first major historical study of Puerto Rico in English. Van Middledyk advanced Puerto Rican historiography by building on the works of Brau, Coll y Toste, and Acosta, and by consulting early Spanish chronicles. A librarian at the Free Public Library of San Juan, Van Middledyk possessed knowledge of and access to considerable primary source material. His history is sympathetic to the Indians and highly critical of Spanish colonial administration. Coming in the wake of American military occupation, the book sought to explain and justify control of the island by the United States.

La colonización de Puerto Rico, des de el descubrimiento de la isla hasta la reversión á la corona española de los privilegios de Colón. - Brau, Salvador, 1842-1912.
This is a classic study of the early period of Spanish rule in Puerto Rico, covering the years 1493-1550. This is a difficult period to research because of the dearth of sources. In this work, Brau, 1842-1912, provided the reader with valuable information on the impact of Spanish society on the native peoples of the island, and he showed considerable sympathy for their plight. Brau introduced each chapter with a summary, and his appendixes include copies of important original documents (letters, reports) for the study of the island's history.
