This Resources and Databases page is created as a short cut to key resources we have for writers and artists on the blog; as well as the various databases of arts content or records we’ve built. For you. These are not all the resources on the site – use the search feature to see what else we’ve posted (e.g. the Carib Lit Plus twice monthly arts bulletin series). This though is those resources and databases that are periodically updated but because they don’t show up as new posts you might miss those updates. That’s the criteria. And this is where you can check in with a single click. So check back from time to time.
