I commented on some sources of information throughout this time I have found on the Internet.
One of them is
Internet Archive, free entry website where one can find books of U.S. and Canadian universities, Gutenberg, among others, digitized full text pdf. It is one of the sites I found quite some time and have always found books about what he wanted. Examples of books that are there are some volumes of "Peru" Raimondi, "The irrigation of the Coast" by Federico Moreno, "Colonization and immigration on the Peruvian coast by Carlos Larrabure, as well as the whole series of international treaties signed between Peru and other countries and the Collection of Acts and Documents ... relating to the Department of Loreto "by Carlos Larrabure. There are also several copies of the Bulletin of the Corps of Engineers Lima, Annals of San Marcos and Bulletin of the Geographical Society of Lima. I recently found the original German version of the work of Middendorf "Peru." It is a Microsoft.
The other source that I use almost daily is often
Google Books (and Google Books). You write in the search terms of reference and displayed a large number of books containing the query words, many of which are digitized and are full access to download, others appear as a preview with the option to read some pages and others simply listed the full reference but there is no view available. This initiative is part of a massive digitization project has brought some headaches for publishers and authors of our time (at the end a note to that effect). Here I found several reports of ministries, calendar of Strangers, "Perou et Bolivie" by Charles Wiener, "El Peruano", 1853, among others. Its added value which we analyze data from a book there is a form of libraries where the book, using the Worldcat
, so that for those without sight word available indicates where one can find them (only that libraries are covered mostly in the U.S., Canada and Europe).
Europeana portal is an important initiative that is still evolving, is a portal where you can search for books, pictures, manuscripts, photographs, etc. various European libraries. It is very good, although it lacks even have more text, in its short existence as an anecdote: the day it opened, during the first hour had several million clicks so that the search engine collapsed and had to close the site few weeks to optimize it. Promises.
And a couple of weeks ago I discovered
Gallica, website of the National Library of France, which has digitized more than a million books in pdf, full text, your browser is very powerful and good, is a very interesting site that I explore in depth these days. I have found here the memory of Agriculture Guillaume, text that had not found anywhere else, and several editions of the Yearbook of both worlds "and newspapers. Do not be disappointed with this website.
Note. 1. The books to which I refer to are those with expired copyrights ago many years and decades, sometimes centuries. 2. In Latin America
have major portals such as Memory and portal Chilean National Library of Peru where we can access full-text books, but very few compared to those who have in total. Hopefully this will improve over time.
