Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere

Melissa Jerome, Project Coordinator, will speak about the U.S. Caribbean & ethnic Florida digital newspaper project: the Caribbean & Ethnic Florida Digital News Papers Project aims to digitize and make available historical newspapers published in Florida, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands between 1800 and 1963. This session will provide an overview on how to navigate Chronicling America (the database where these materials are housed), offer examples of content available, and showcase examples as to how these historical newspapers can be used for teaching and research.
