The Digital Library of the Caribbean has historical documents and videos on the Virgin Islands. Enjoy.


Many full text books, including some on the Virgin Islands history, are availble on archive.org. When the web site comes up, in the Search area, type in “St. Croix USVI” and select the type of search you want (I used text). You will get a screen of articles and books that pertain to St. Croix.

2. Mapping a Colony
This project engages with digital cultural heritage on a prototype website that tests the interactive potential of what we might call digital colonial fragments. It is also a project that maps places, people and photographic material relating to Danish colonial heritage in two geographic areas: Denmark and the former Danish West Indies (now the US Virgin Islands, USVI).
