UH is receiving a nearly $1.35 million
grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to create a free, open-access digital portal for anyone to learn about or teach Puerto Rican literature.
Officially known as the “El proyecto de la literatura puertorriqueña” or “The Puerto Rican Literature Project,” it will include a database in Spanish and English of approximately 50,000 assets of photographs, manuscripts, poems, videos, and archival materials.
