(Millwood, NY: KTO Press, Research Institute for the Study of Man) 4 vols, 2193 pages, 1977.], the most important source for bibliography of books and articles concerning French Guiana is the annual Handbook of Latin American Studies (http://lcweb2.loc.gov/hlas/) produced by over 140 contributing editors under the editorship of the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress. Additional coverage of journal articles can be found through a subscription to the Hispanic American Periodical Index (http://hapi.gseis.ucla.edu/).   Both the Handbook and HAPI are available in selected libraries in book form.   For additional information about Anguilla at the Library of Congress, consult its online catalog (http://catalog.loc.gov).
