Module 2 Weblog#4

This site has a research branch which states that it has a comprehensive collection of historical indigenous documents, but it was impossible for me to check it out as it costs 200 dollars for students for a year or 10 dollars for one access, which on a Mexican salary is not feasible. I was next drawn to the photography section which has photos by Robert Harper of several countries, including Mexico as it was, over 50 years ago. The photos are very interesting and I spent some time looking at how Mexico used to be. There are some photos of Puerta Vallarta when it was a virgin beach and a small indigenous community. Now Puerta Vallarta is a huge artificial, concrete, tourist complex that bears no resemblance to its wild, natural beauty in the past. Finally I noticed the indigenous bookshop which is linked to Amazon and seemed to have a small, but interesting collection.
