Primary Collection

The {n} surviving Paraguayan newspapers of 1845–1904 are all gathered here, the definitive collection of every surviving Paraguayan newspaper of the era. Originally 126 newspapers are said to have existed in this period, but all those not in this collection have been lost and are found in no libraries. 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.
