Spanish/Portuguese holdings in Latin America, Caribbean United States and Philippines from the first printing in Latin America (about 1539) through the end of 1850.

We are including imprints from North America, South America and the Caribbean (and the Philippines) based on the place of publication being Spanish or Portuguese territory at the time of publication (regardless of language). So the island of Haiti/Dominican Republic (which was passed back and forth between the Spanish and the French) should be included for the dates that it was Spanish controlled but the countries of Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana are not included at all.

The exception to this rule is when an area under the continuous control of Spain or Portugal has achieved independence from them. Then we continue to include imprints through 1850 for that area (such as for the modern-day country of Mexico).

The following is a list of modern-day countries where we believe there is (or might be) in-scope printing.
