Hispanic Reading Room: Online Collections
The Hispanic Reading Room site from the Library of
Congress brings together over a dozen digital collections crafted from primary
and secondary source materials related to Luso-Hispanic cultural history. The
collections offered on this site include the Kraus Collection of Sir Francis
Drake as well as a collection on Puerto Rico and the Dawn of the Modern Age.
This last area contains a small gallery of cartographic items as well as a
short essay on national identity. Moving on, the Exhibits and Pictorial Collections
contain wonderful visual explorations of the Spanish-American War and the
Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Of additional note, visitors on the hunt for a
specific photograph or hard-to-find item may wish to consult the Reading Room's
list of free-lance picture researchers who may be able to search for these
items for a small fee
