La colección completa
Primary CollectionThe {n} surviving Paraguayan newspapers of 1845–1904 are all gathered here, the definitive collection of every surviving Paraguayan newspaper of the era. The rest are lost: no copies have been found after exhaustive searches of libraries and institutions worldwide. These are the voices of a nation before, during, and after the most devastating war in South American history — the War of the Triple Alliance (1864–1870), which killed an estimated 90% of Paraguay's male population. Wartime trench newspapers like Cabichuí and El Centinela were printed under artillery fire, often on captured enemy paper. Postwar titles document the painful reconstruction of a shattered society.
