  • La Historia Colonial de Honduras 1502-1821. This book is the first volume in a series which covers the history of Honduras before the point of contact  by Chirstopher Columbus on his fourth voyage, through the conquest, from the perspective of Spanish citizens who came to Honduras, the African diaspora of the slave trade, and the Indigenous people who witnessed and survived this tragedy and drama.
  • Antiguos Puentes de Honduras [Antique Bridges of Honduras], Instituto Antropología e Historia de Honduras (IHAH). This book begins with the antique bridge construction plans of French engineer, Henry Gaston Bourgeois, who worked in Honduras from 1900-1908. From his drawings, I have researched twenty-one bridges across Honduras. These treasures, which were once vital to the country’s infrastructure, come to life again through the book’s text and pictures of their current condition in forgotten locations throughout Honduras.
  • De Puerto Caballos a Puerto Cortes (Data Analysis).  In 2010, I was contracted by the governmental Instituto de Antropología e Historia de Honduras (IHAH), to research the city of Puerto Caballo in the Department (State) of Puerto Cortez to declare the city a national historic center.  The data collected includes the origin of the population and how the city has evolved over time.  Once published, this research will serve as a declaration of protection for the city of Puerto Caballos as a national historic center in Honduras.
  • Los Gitanos en Honduras [Gypsies in Honduras] (Data Collection).  Over the last decade I have been collecting information from newspapers in the National Archives of Honduras regarding the Gypsy people in Honduras from 1890 to 1940.  I am drawn to the presence of this ethnic group of Gypsy people in the newspapers during this period.  My continued work will include literary research from poets, and Honduran narrators of the Gypsy figure in our nation’s history.
