The University of Michigan Library has an excellent web page for Latin American studies, with both links to a huge array of Web resources, and a guide to "hard-copy" resources at U-M libraries.
LANIC, the Latin American Network Information Center of the University of Texas at Austin, is one of the most complete sites for links to Latin American sites. Their Latin American Studies Institutions page contains links to many other university websites. (Currently, the most complete listing of other Latin American Studies programs is our own.)
The Science and Human Rights Program of the American Association for the Advancement of Science has focus areas in Guatemala, Honduras, and US/Cuban relations: http://shr.aaas.org/projects.htm. Especially useful is their "Cuba: The Right to Travel" page, which has good information on US and Cuban travel regulations.
