NEW BOOK: HISTORY OF PAPER MONEY IN PUERTO RICO, VOL IÁngel Navarro Zayas has published a new documentary history (in Spanish) of paper money in Puerto Rico. Here's a Google translation from the publisher's website. -Editor
Documentary History of Paper Money in Puerto Rico (1781-1790) Volume I This Documentary History of Paper Money in Puerto Rico (1781-1790), Volume I, constitutes the beginning of a new series of volumes through which its author, the dynamic historian and young university professor, Dr. Ángel O. Navarro Zayas, will enrich his already extensive and constant bibliographic production within the subject of the study of the monetary and numismatic history of Puerto Rico. These achievements constitute the most prolific, useful, and relevant that a scholar in any of these fields has ever achieved, up to now, within Puerto Rican historiography. He published the series Historia Monetaria Documental de Puerto Rico (La Moneda Macuquina), Volumes I-V (Lulu Enterprises, 2013-2016), as well as multiple and outstanding contributions of articles and essays published, from then to the present, in the prestigious and selective magazines The Numismatist, of the American Numismatic Association; Journal of Early American Numismatics, from the American Numismatic Society; The Paper Money Journal, by The Society of Paper Money Collectors; The Advisory, from The Medal Collectors of America; the Bulletin of the Royal Academy of Spanish History; and the annual magazine NUMI EXPO, of the Numismatic Society of Puerto Rico. The search, location, transcription, compilation, ordering and publication of primary and unpublished documentary sources allows the accessibility and availability of documentation and material for reading, consultation and analysis that facilitates and enables historians -and other social scientists- the interpretation and reconstruction of the processes of the historical past of a people. Hence the importance of pioneering works of this nature, such as the Historical Library of Puerto Rico, by Alejandro Tapia y Rivera (Márquez Printing House, San Juan de Puerto Rico, 1854); the Historical Bulletin of Puerto Rico, 14 volumes, by Dr. Cayetano Coll y Toste (Cantero, Fernández & Compañía Typography, San Juan, 1914-1926); the Documentary History of Puerto Rico, Volumes I-IV, by Father Vicente Murga Sanz (Plus Ultra Publishing House, Seville - Río Piedras - Ponce, 1956-1976); the Documents of the Royal Treasury of Puerto Rico, Vol. I (1510-1509), Vol. II (1510-1545), by Aurelio Tanodi (Historical Research Center, University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras, 1971, 2009); and, the New Sources for the History of Puerto Rico by Aurelio Tió (Inter-American University of Puerto Rico, San Germán, 1961).
