8. Latin American Pamphlet Digital Collection
http://vc.lib.harvard.edu/vc/deliver/home?_collection=LAP

Over the centuries, thousands of pamphlets have been published to serve
various purposes. Some have been preserved by individuals and prescient
institutions, but countless others have disappeared forever. Harvard
University's Widener Library has over 5000 pamphlets from 19th and 20th
century Latin America, and until recently, they remained uncataloged and
mostly inaccessible. Visitors to this site can browse the collection by
title, subject, name, and genre. The materials offered here range from
documents on accounting practices to those dealing with yellow fever.
Additionally, visitors looking for descriptive documents that describe
unexplored territories and the relationship between church and state will
not be disappointed. The site also contains a nice help feature and
visitors can also email questions to staff members at the library. [KMG]
