One of the newspapers we were able to digitize (with partners at UPR-RP!) for @UFNDNP Check out ChronAm for more Puerto Rican newspapers published prior to 1963.
La Gazeta de Puerto-Rico began publishing in 1806 as the official newspaper of the Spanish government in Puerto Rico. This publication marked the beginning of the use of the printing press on the island. Read issues in #ChronAm. https://t.co/LioJ9mS1Bo
