Resources
[edit source]Online Sources
[edit source]Guyana news websites (Media list from BBC[1])
Pages of dubious quality kept for historical purpose:
- [2] Guyanese people
- Land of Six Peoples – An archive of news articles from Guyana's leading newspapers from 1999–2007. The site is incomplete and seems to be malfunctioning in some places, but it is an invaluable archive nonetheless with a treasury of some great articles on wide-ranging topics.
- The West Indian Encyclopedia.
- Odeen Ishmael's The Guyana Story – from Earliest Times to Independence – A really helpful historical source...
