We seek to create an expansive archive of genealogical records for Puerto Rico that identify the First Nation Peoples of the Caribbean in official documents.

We, the Taino people of today, very proudly still speak our language in our Taino communities.

Indigenous Archives of Puerto Rico

Please visit often as the archive is currently in its infancy. In time, it will grow and it will take the participation from the public to help us increase the number of documents in the Indigenous Archive Project for Puerto Rico.
