OGM data bank

[NewsWhore]

Today marks the tenth anniversary of the OGM Data Bank. This little-known resource for researching recent Dominican history contains articles from the entire publication history of El Caribe newspaper, as well as other newspaper and magazine collections. The OGM Central de Datos, to give the organization its proper name, was the result of collaboration between German Emilio Ornes, the former owner of El Caribe, eminent historian Frank Moya Pons, and banker Alejandro Grullon. The OGM data bank contains all the editions of "AHORA!" magazine, as well as "Renovacion" and "Patria" from the 1960s and 1970s, and the complete El Caribe collection from Antonio Perrota. Mr. Perrota purchased two subscriptions to El Caribe when it started publication in 1947. He would read one and save the other, which he had bound each month. This is a welcome resource for anyone with an interest in Dominican events over the last 60 years.
