• Caribbean Archaeology: University of Florida The website of the Caribbean Archaeology Program at the Florida Museum of Natural History has four main components: Field Research, Collections, the Bullen Bibliography of Caribbean Archaeology and Public Education. It is an excellent site, with lots of photos and information on recent research in the Caribbean. The website also includes links to the Journal of Caribbean Archaeology, the Center for Historical Archaeology, and the International Association For Caribbean Archaeology.

• Journal of Caribbean Archaeology The newly created e-Journal of Caribbean Archaeology addresses archaeological research in the Caribbean region and provides a refereed publication. This is the only academic venue devoted specifically to Caribbean archaeology. The journal will be published initially three times a year beginning in 1999, although quarterly issues will be considered if submissions warrant. A book review section is under consideration but will not be implemented until the journal has become established. The Journal of Caribbean Archaeology is designed to be as widely disseminated as possible to encourage scholarship and communication among the scattered practitioners of the archaeology in the Caribbean and is free of charge.

• Center for Historical Archaeology Created in 1990 as a scientific non-profit organization, the Center for Historical Archaeology provides archival research in French, English, and Spanish archives, underwater wreck sites assessment and dating, and cultural material analysis. The Center's director, John de Bry, is an accomplished paleographer specializing in 16th, 17th, and 18th century manuscript documents related to voyages of exploration, colonization, and exploitation of the New World, as well as maritime traffic between the Old Continent and the Americas, with an emphasis on the French colonial period.

• Historical Archaeology at the Florida Museum of Natural History—The Florida museum’s archaeology program has had ongoing projects focused on St. Augustine, Florida, since 1973, and in Hispaniola since 1979. The research sites and the collections that have been accumulated have served to provide a continuum of Spanish historical settlement in the Circum Caribbean region from 1492 until 1821.

• The International Association for Caribbean Archaeology (I.A.C.A.)The I.A.C.A. is a group of professional and amateur archaeologists and interested individuals from the Caribbean and overseas who work, or have an interest, in the archaeology of the Caribbean region including the mainland. Following a first Congress in Martinique in 1961, an Association was founded by the Rev. Pere Pinchon and Dr. Jacques Petitjean Roget in 1962. It was formerly called the "International Association for the Study of Pre-Columbian Cultures of the Lesser Antilles"; it was incorporated in 1985 and the name was changed to "The International Association for Caribbean Archaeology". The corresponding titles in French and Spanish are respectively "Association Internationale d'Archéologie de la Caraïbe" (A.I.A.C.) and "Asociación Internacional de Arqueología del Caribe" (A.I.A.C.).
