Periódicos

Primary Collection

The serial press collection combines Paraguayan newspapers, wartime trench papers, postwar political dailies, cultural journals, and a small set of foreign periodical perspectives. Core page counts come from the TIFF-backed newspaper folder manifest, while the cards below also surface curated serial titles that live in other repository formats or are still being normalized into the core scan inventory.

Methodology & Data Contracts

The public collections page is no longer a hand-written showcase. Newspaper scan counts come from the folder manifest, non-newspaper holdings come from the operational page manifests, and live OCR / embed status is overlaid from the cached status snapshot. That keeps the public inventory fast while still grounding it in the same repository contracts used by the operator dashboard and CLI.
