The Caribbean Charts and Engravings 1555-1818 collection comprises fifty-five framed items that showcase the archipelago as well as individual islands drawn from the perspective of cartographers at that time. In addition to statistical data, topography and local history, several of the maps have unique illustrations which provide more information on the cultural aspects of the islands. It is a good resource to study cartography in the Caribbean.

This collection comprises books, serials, pamphlets and a few newspaper clippings, all related to the period when the People's Revolutionary Government was in power on the island of Grenada. Of particular interest are the speeches of the late Prime Minister, Maurice Bishop, and other government ministers. The collection also includes an extensive run of news releases covering the period when the People's Revolutionary Government was in power.
