TRIAL: Caribbean Newspapers 1718-1876

We now have a trail to Caribbean Newspapers 1718-1876!

“The Caribbean Newspapers collection from Newsbank/Readex consists of 66 newspaper titles from 22 islands between 1718-1876.  . This new online resource—the largest of its kind--will chronicle the evolution of the Caribbean region across two centuries, providing a comprehensive primary resource for studying the development of Western society and international relations within this important group of islands. Created in cooperation with the American Antiquarian Society—one of the world's largest and most important newspaper repositories—this collection will provide students and scholars with easy access to more than 150 years of Caribbean and Atlantic history, culture and daily life. This is the first release of documents for this database and each month new data will be add until the project is completed, within the next 12 months.”

The trial ends 11/30/2013.  Please leave any feedback you have in the comments.
