Restoring Puerto Rican History after Hurricane Maria
The Archivo General de Puerto Rico (AGPR) is part of the Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña (ICP), the Government Agency responsible for researching, preserving, promoting, and disseminating Puerto Rican culture in its diversity and complexity. The Archivo General houses a vast collection of historical documents and items related to Puerto Rican heritage and culture. In 2017, Hurricane Maria devastated the region, causing damage to the roof of the building and eventually leading to problems with the integrity of the ceiling.
