Digital Sources on Luso-Brazilian History from the JCB Library

I just completed a wonderful fellowship at the JCB Library. They have made a concerted effort to digitize Luso-Brazilian and Spanish American resources via The Internet Archive. I discuss one of the many jewels in their collection, related to the Brazilian independence period, here.

Bolivarian Times

My friend, colleague, collaborator and fellow historian Matthew Brown, Reader in Latin American History at the University of Bristol, has begun a fascinating initiative to bring together and discuss the exciting new work related to the period (c. 1810-30) culminating in Latin American independence in a blog. It is called Bolivarian Times. I highly recommend it!
