The University of Florida Digital Collections contains a selection of digitized materials serving to illustrate the deep intellectual coverage of South America in the University of Florida Libraries.
Newspaper titles include:
Hemeroteca Digital Brasileira provides digital access to more than 7,000 historical Brazilian newspapers and other periodicals through the Fundação Biblioteca Nacional.
Hemeroteca Nacional Digital de Mexico (HNDM) is a digital archive of Mexican newspapers, including a detailed catalog of published newspapers between 1822 and 1876.
The Independent and Revolutionary Mexican Newspapers collection traces the evolution of Mexico during this pivotal period. Comprising over 1,000 titles from Mexico’s pre-independence, independence and revolutionary periods (1807-1929), the newspapers in this collection provide rare documentation of the dramatic events of this era and include coverage of Mexican partisan politics, yellow press, political and social satire, as well as local, regional, national and international news.
The Caribbean Newspaper Digital Library (CNDL) is a cooperative digital library for newspapers resources from the Caribbean and circum-Caribbean. CNDL provides access to digitized versions of Caribbean newspapers, gazettes, and other research materials on newsprint currently held in archives, libraries, and private collections. CNDL will have on-going newspaper digitization, expanding the geographic, temporal, political and linguistic variety of the newspapers.
The Digital Library of the Caribbean (dLOC) is the parent organization, governing the development of the Caribbean Newspaper Digital Library (CNDL). Both dLOC and CNDL benefit from a rich legacy of international collaborative preservation and access projects, dating back through microfilm other prior technologies, including the Caribbean Newspaper Imaging Project which was supported with funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, following the tradition established before and solidified with the Farmington Plan. Support for CNDL comes from the newspaper publishers, archives, libraries, and museums across the Caribbean, Europe and the Americas.
The National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP), a partnership between the National Endowment for Humanities (NEH) and the Library of Congress, is a long-term effort to provide permanent, free access to historic newspapers selected and digitized by NEH-funded awardees in the United States. The NDNP incorporates newspapers published from 1836-1922 into a national digital newspaper resource, Chronicling America, where the digitized pages are made available. Chronicling America's U.S. Newspaper Directory 1690-present includes newspapers from Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The University of Florida was one of the original NDNP awardees in 2005 when NDNP first started. Approximately 100,000 pages from newspapers published between 1900-1910 were digitized and incorporated into Chronicling America.
