Primary Sources: where to look and how to find them

There is no single database that only contains historical images related to Latin America. This means that sometimes you will need to find your images within other bodies of text and media. Some of the sites presented here are specific to Latin America but others are more general in nature. In addition, we have tried to link directly to the image section of a website but sometimes this was not possible.
