In times of limited mobility, travel restrictions, and institutional lockdowns, scholarship building in/about the Latin American and Caribbean regions continues to develop. Is comprehensive research possible digitally? What resources are available to facilitate international research? What are the ethical considerations around research data collection and sharing in the online environment? This session will feature presentations by archival experts from NYU and the New York Public Library on resources available and ways of navigating them.
