Bibliographic Database Searches

This website contains two searchable bibliographic anthropological databases.

The Digitized Caribbeana 1900-1975: A Bibliographic Guide to the Non-Hispanic Territories

The Digitized Caribbeana: 1900-1975 is a bibliographic database topically organized to facilitate scholarly research on the non- Hispanic countries of the region. It contains over seventeen thousand complete references to authored publications such as monographs, readers, conference proceedings, doc toral dissertations, master's theses, journal articles, reports, pamphlets, and other miscellaneous works. With the exception of a number of doctoral dissertations which were referenced through university abstracts reviewed before inclusion in the database. As a rule, publications were excluded if they were without indication of authorship or editor ship, such as the case in many government reports, or if they could not be physically located for purposes of verification and review. Unfortunately, this meant excluding more than several thousand possible entries known by title but not found in any of the many libraries searched. Also excluded, given their limited research value, were publications of two pages or less, particularly those printed after 1965. As noted in Caribbeana 1900-1965, no attempt was made to pass critical judgment about publications reviewed and listed. I see no reason in this digital database to change a perspective so aptly stated by H. Ian Hogbin in his introduction to C. R. H. Taylor's A Pacific Bibliography: "Some of the minor publications, it may be thought, would have been decently left in oblivion." But Mr. Taylor believes, in my opinion rightly, that we should not prejudge. "Subsequent generations may well discover significant material in the most unlikely places."
