Pages of dubious quality kept for historical purpose:
 * Guyanese people
 * Land of Six Peoples - An archive of news articles from Guyana's leading newspapers from 1999-2007. The site is incomplete and seems to be malfunctioning in some places, but it is an invaluable archive nonetheless with a treasury of some great articles on wide-ranging topics.
 * The West Indian Encyclopedia.
 * Odeen Ishmael's The Guyana Story - from Earliest Times to Independence - A really helpful historical source...
