New subject guide on Puerto Rican Economy
We are excited to announce the publication of Puerto Rico's Plantation Economy: Snapshots from the Library of Congress, an online research guide providing access to historic photographs, film documentation, as well as related print and electronic resources illustrating the 20th century shift in Puerto Rico from a plantation to an industrial economy. This guide highlights key photographic collections from Jack and Irene Delano and Edwin and Louise Rosskam, two couples who documented a pivotal period in Puerto Rican economic history that left an impact in family structures, public health, education and work.
