Science & Technology : French Guiana

In addition to Lambros Comitas' work [The Complete Caribbeana, 1900-1975: A Bibliographic Guide to the Scholarly Literature. (Millwood, NY: KTO Press, Research Institute for the Study of Man) 4 vols, 2193 pages, 1977.], the most important source for bibliography of books and articles concerning French Guiana is the annual Handbook of Latin American Studies (http://lcweb2.loc.gov/hlas/) produced by over 140 contributing editors under the editorship of the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress. Additional coverage of journal articles can be found through a subscription to the Hispanic American Periodical Index (http://hapi.gseis.ucla.edu/).   Both the Handbook and HAPI are available in selected libraries in book form.   One of the major aggregators for links to a wide variety of subjects relating to French Guiana is the University of Texas' LANIC (http://lanic.utexas.edu/la/cb/other/fg/).
