Medieval and Pre-Modern Spain

A large number of textual and audiovisual documents that will allow you to approach, among others, spaces as diverse as gaucho literature, Hispanic culture in the United States or Brazilian creation; to the baroque world of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz or to the most contemporary reality in the poetry of Mario Benedetti; to outstanding collections such as the José Toribio Medina Library of Chile, the Reserved Funds of the National Library of Mexico or the Manuscripts of America in the Royal Collections; to the thoughts of the liberator Bolívar or that of the great names of the Spanish exile in America.

The World Digital Library is a cooperative project of the Library of Congress, the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), and partner libraries, archives, and educational and cultural institutions from the United States and around the world. The project brings together on a single website rare and unique documents – books, journals, manuscripts, maps, prints and photographs, films, and sound recordings – that tell the story of the world’s cultures. The site is intended for general users, students, teachers, and scholars.

The Library of Iberian Resources Online (LIBRO) is a joint project of the American Academy of Research Historians of Medieval Spain and the University of Central Arkansas. Its task is to make available to users the best scholarship about the peoples and nations of the Iberian peninsula. Consequently, the book list is principally drawn from recent, but out-of-print university press monographs. In addition, the collection includes a number of basic texts and sources in translation. These are presented in full-text format and reproduce all the matter included in the original print version. The collection focuses upon peninsular history from the fifth to the seventeenth centuries.
