LIST OF NEWSPAPERS
OF THE WEST INDIES AND BERMUDA
IN THE LIBRARY OF THE
AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY
COMPILED BY "WALDO LINCOLN

OST of the newspapers in the following list have

been acquired by the Society during the past
fifteen years. While very far'from being complete
files, they form, as a whole, a nearly unbroken chain for
one hundred and'thirty years, or from 1785 to 1915,
with several interesting examples issued during the
eighteenth century.
Most of the islands in the several groups are represented by one or more issues, but the collection is
especially strong in the newspapers of Antigua, Barbados, Bermuda, Grenada, Saint Christopher, Saint
Lucia and Trinidad. This list is in no sense a bibliography but, as an aid to a future bibliography, the
volume and number of each first issue in the library is
given. The newspapers of Cuba and Porto Rico are
the result of an attempt to obtain a sample of every
newspaper published at the time of a visit to those
islands in 1913 and 1914 respectively, and are more
valuable for bibliographical study than otherwise.
It is doubtful if more complete files of most of the
newspapers herein listed can be found elsewhere. Few
libraries have made any serious attempt to collect West
Indian newspapers and the local libraries of the several
islands have few, if any, files, save the Bermuda Public
Library at Hamilton, which has a good file of the
"Bermuda Gazette" and a nearly complete file of the
"Royal Gazette"; the Institute of Jamaica at Kings-

1926.] Newspapers of the West Indies and Bermuda 131

ton which has a very fine collection of the newspapers
of Jamaica; and the Public Library at Port of Spain,
Trinidad, which has good files of " T h e Mirror" and
" P o r t of Spain Gazette. "
