Why it matters

The History of Science in Latin America and the Caribbean (HOSLAC) database is an open-access gateway compiling primary sources, historical maps, and visual collections that document scientific endeavor, medicine, and technology in Latin America.

It is highly valuable for researchers studying regional scientific developments, public health policies, and environmental history under colonial, national, and transnational regimes.
