Does anyone know where to locate a source for the Gazeta de Mexico?? I am looking for an article published in 18/2/1804. So far i have been unable to figure out where to go to try and get a copy. Going in circles on the internet doing searches.

Here is one collection I found on the internet at UC Berkley. They may have it!

You may be able to see if they can pull the paper for you and scan it for you. You need to go to this page and fill out the form with the information you are looking for. They should get back to you within 24 hours usually.

Good Luck,

The Smithsonian Institution Libraries keep an archive of that paper, beginning in 1784. Here's a site for more info:

The University of Texas in El Paso has a small collection of their own. More info here:

The Cervantine Library is a public library at the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education in Monterrey, Mexico has the only known complete collection of the Gazeta de Mexico in the world. It would be the best place to look. Here is another link:
