It is fairly easy to keep track of digital projects that require a subscription or purchase. It is much more difficult to stay on top of new developments in the realm of free online resources. That is why the annual review by the French Studies Library Group is a welcome source of information.
In the latest issue of FDLG Annual Review Issue 6 (2010): 13-19, Teresa Vernon, Head of French Collections at the British Library, highlights 29 new developments in French and Francophone catalogs abroad.
Of particular interest are :
Catalogue collectif des périodiques Caraïbe-Amazonie
Online union catalogue listing periodicals, magazines and newspapers on the Caribbean held in libraries in Martinique, Guadeloupe and French Guyana. Includes material not hitherto visible online since many of the libraries do not have online catalogues.
Manioc: bibliothèque numérique Caraïbe, Amazonie, Plateau des Guyanes
The Manioc digital library, initiated by the Libraries (SCD) of the Université des Antilles et de la Guyane, offers free access to online resources on the Caribbean, Guyana and Amazonia in the following categories: Patrimoine numérisé (heritage digitised books, full text). Images du patrimoine. Catalogue collectif des périodiques Caraïbe Amazonie. Audio Vidéo. Travaux de recherches (articles, cartes, communications, livres, thèses). Etudes caribéennes (e-journal on Revues.org).
It thus complements the Digital Library of the Caribbean (dLOC).
Also of interest are expanding lists of digital historic newspaper projects:
Gallica
ICON:International Coalition on Newspapers -- (CRL)-Newspaper Digitization Projects
Réseau francophone numérique
