Summary
The preservation of historical sources in the Dominican Republic has suffered greatly under the country’s historical vicissitudes. Of the important documents that survived, many are in private hands. The former director of the Archivo General de la Nación, Emilio Rodríguez Demorizi, has edited a wide range of source material: Hostos en Santo Domingo, 2 vols. (Ciudad Trujillo, 1939); Relaciones históricas de Santo Domingo, 3 vols. (Ciudad Trujillo, 1942, 1945 and 1957); Correspondencia del cónsul de Francia en Santo Domingo, 1844–1846, vol. 1 (Ciudad Trujillo, 1944); Documentos para la historia de la República Dominicana, 3 vols. (vol. 1, Ciudad Trujillo, 1944; vol. 2, Santiago, Dom. Rep., 1949; vol. 3, Ciudad Trujillo, 1959); Correspondencia del cónsul de Francia en Santo Domingo, 1846–1850, vol. 2 (Ciudad Trujillo, 1947); La marina de guerra dominicana, 1844–1861 (Ciudad Trujillo, 1958); Actos y doctrina del gobierno de la restauración (Santo Domingo, 1963); Papeles de Espaillat: Para la historia de las ideas políticas en Santo Domingo (Santo Domingo, 1963) and Papeles de Pedro F. Bonó (Santo Domingo, 1964).
Bibliographies are scarce. Three may be mentioned here: Deborah Hitt and Larman Wilson, A Selected Bibliography of the Dominican Republic: A Century after the Restoration of Independence (Washington, D.C., 1968); Wolf Grabendorff, Bibliographie zu Politik und Gesellschaft der Dominikanischen Republik: Neuere Studien 1961–1971 (Munich, 1973) and Kai Schoenhals, Dominican Republic, World Bibliographical Series, vol. 3 (Oxford, 1990).
