The project CATALOGUING AND STUDY OF SPANISH-DOMINICAN AND IBERO-AMERICAN TRANSLATIONS began on 01/01/2015 and ended on 30/06/2018, reaching an important degree of scientific information, and producing the following results in its conclusion:

Catalogued data:

738 Dominican authors, 2240 classified works, and 75 reference languages and dialects.

The catalogue can be accessed via internet and through this portal, as its database is constantly evolving and controlled by our research group.
