This book provides a much-needed index to works of Puerto Rican collective biography. Included are books of collective biography, reference works, collections of essays, histories, and some anthologies, all published prior to 1986. A special attempt has been made to include as many English-language sources as possible. This is the only index to cite the exact page location of the biographies, a feature which should prove particularly useful since many of the sources indexed are not in alphabetical order or have some errors in the form of the entry.
