The Argosy was a newspaper published in Georgetown, Demerara, in British Guiana (later Guyana) from 2 October 1880 to 30 March 1907.
[1] The Argosy was contracted by the government to print ‘The Official Gazette’ as well as agricultural reports and mining data.
[3] The paper's reporting of births, marriages, and deaths make it an important primary source for genealogists interested in British Guiana.
A compilation of its family notices is held on microfilm at the British Library.
[4] In 1979, its columns were also a primary source for Walter Rodney's Guyanese Sugar Plantations in the Late Nineteenth Century: A Contemporary Description from the "Argosy" (Release Publishers, Georgetown).
