This is an extensive repository containing material relating to the American experience, a large portion of it digitised from the Library of Congress' collections. It includes, but is not limited to, images, monographs, sheet music, sound and visual recordings, pamphlets and posters. It is subdivided into over 100 thematic collections based on original documentation format, subject, author or donor. 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. Each major subsection has a discrete site design and interface, although they are all part of the overarching whole.

Memorias geográficas, históricas, económicas y estadísticas de la isla de Puerto-Rico, - Córdova, Pedro Tomás de.
De Córdoba, who was secretary to the Captain General of Puerto Rico, 1816-1836, continued the history of Puerto Rico where Abbad left off and provided a rich resource of information on the island for the years 1783 to 1831.

Puerto Rico y su historia investigaciones críticas / - Brau, Salvador, 1842-1912.
This is the first important critical analysis of Puerto Rican historiography by a leading historian of Puerto Rico.

In writing the work, Brau relied primarily on historical documents available at the Archivo General de las Indias in Spain, where he spent three years. The study discusses a wide diversity of Puerto Rican documents from the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries, which Brau uncovered at the Archivo.
