The exhibit was organized, planned, and produced in cooperation with Saúl Meléndez and Héctor Vázquez, both teachers at the Dr. Pedro Albizu Campos High School, and John Vincler, a graduate assistant in the Community Informatics Initiative of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign's Graduate School of Library and Information Science.
Description of the Exhibition: "500 Years of Puerto Rican History through the Eyes of Others" explores the history of Puerto Rico over half a millennium, beginning roughly with the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1493 to an island called Boriquén by its inhabitants, the Taínos, and extending through the Spanish-American War of 1898. Through objects written and drafted mostly by people other than Puerto Ricans, the exhibit looks at and charts the interests and aims of explorers, travelers, governments, artists, soldiers, merchants, and historians attracted to Puerto Rico.
This first-ever exhibit of Puerto Rican materials held in the Newberry Library's collection was planned and organized with student curators from the Dr. Pedro Albizu Campos High School in Humboldt Park.
