The Digital Library of the Caribbean (dLOC, www.dloc.com) is fully open access and has many resources for Caribbean newspapers, including dLOC’s Caribbean Newspaper Digital Library (www.dloc.com/cndl and browsing all is easy: www.dloc.com/cndl/all).  dLOC has many other related resources. dLOC is a collaborative, international, multi-lingual, partner-driven digital library with many partners around the world: www.dloc.com/partners who collaborate together, with other institutions and scholars, and are open to new collaborative opportunities. The Early Caribbean Digital Archive (ECDA) and dLOC are working together, and ECDA may have immediate suggestions, resources, and ideas on this: http://ecdaproject.org/

 

Also, Erich Kesse, one of the founding people with dLOC is now at SOAS. He has a wealth of knowledge on digital preservation and prior work with microfilm and other preservation methods for historic through current materials in the Caribbean and overall.

 

Best wishes,

Although not very detailed, a useful place to start in terms of gauging where printing presses were in action and likely to play key roles in West Indies printing history is this directory of British caribbean newspapers:

 

Howard S Pactor, compiler, Colonial British Caribbean Newspaper: A Bibliography and Directory, Greenwood Press, 1990.

Would anyone be able to help suggest some resources for a student of mine who wants to research the history of printing/ publishing in the West Indies, please?

 

I'd be very grateful for any aid - thank you!
