Puerto Rico's libraries, archives and museums road to recovery: A timeline of events after Hurricane Maria

Introduction

This timeline compiles the available resources (in my possession or found through the Web) related to the impact and recovery process of libraries, archives, museums and other cultural institutions in Puerto Rico. It is not exhaustive, but, hopefully it will provide enough documentation for future generations to understand part of the recovery events that took place immediately after Hurricane Maria. There are so many hands and hearts involved in almost a year of activities that I found imperative its dissemination.

Thanks to Dr. Joel Blanco-Rivera from the Escuela Graduada de Ciencias y Tecnologías de la Información (EGCTI) and his students, links were saved in the Internet Archives to ensure they are preserved for long-term access. Also, videos were preserved using Webrecorder.
