Perry--your kindness, work ethic, and labor for Caribbean studies, archives, and libraries has been crucial and has impacted really so many people (me included!). I'm so sorry for everything happening to all the good people at NEH...

@jcormac.bsky.social I can't DM you, so writing here to suggest as sources digitized 19th c. newspapers from the Caribbean that have lots of advertisements about concerts (opera, music etc.). Two of them from Barbados for example (Mercury and Barbadian) are on dLOC.
