Nicolaas Volkerts is often credited with establishing the Berbice gazette, however he was publishing the Essequebo and Demerary gazette in Stabroek, Demerara (now Georgetown, Guyana) until 1806, when he lost his status as the government printer to his former partner, then rival, Edward James Henery, publisher of the Essequebo and Demerary royal gazette. Volkerts remained in Demerara until July 1807, making it unlikely for him to have been the original publisher of the Berbice gazette. By 1813, the newspaper had been sold to William Schulz, who would oversee publication of the newspaper for the next two to three decades. In 1822, the title of the paper was briefly changed to the Berbice gazette and New Amsterdam advertiser, before becoming the Berbice royal gazette and New Amsterdam advertiser, a few months later. Around 1837, the name of the paper was shortened to the Berbice advertiser, which only lasted until May 1840 (Journal of the Statistical Society of London, July 1841, page 125). The discontinuation of the Berbice advertiser may have been a result of a libel suit against the then publisher John Emery (Legal observer, or, Journal of jurisprudence, November 9, 1844, page 19). Whatever the reason behind the cessation of the Berbice advertiser, it was soon after replaced by another iteration of the Berbice gazette, started by George A. M'Kidd around 1841. Sometime between 1846 and 1858, the name of the newspaper changed to become the Berbice gazette and British Guiana advertiser (The Creole, March 6, 1858, page 1). Publication was suspended for a few months that year but returned in December 1858 as a weekly newspaper with a new publisher, John Thompson (The Creole, December 11, 1858, page 2). Thompson returned the name of the newspaper to the Berbice gazette in 1877 and continued to publish it until his death in 1879. Charles Edwin Hooten purchased the newspaper and ran it for the next 8 years, until falling into the hands of its final publisher, William MacDonald. The Berbice gazette published its final issue on March 29, 1902.", { "text": "Funded by the Council on Library and Information Resources Digitizing Hidden Special Collections and Archives: Enabling New Scholarship through Increasing Access to Unique Materials grant program.", "type": "funding" } ], "identifiers": [ { "text": "1380865256", "type": "OCLC" } ], "imageSrcUrl": [ { "src": "0117.jpg", "title": null, "fileid": "JPEG1", "pageid": "PAGE1" }, { "src": "0118.jpg", "title": null, "fileid": "JPEG2", "pageid": "PAGE2" }, { "src": "0119.jpg", "title": null, "fileid": "JPEG3", "pageid": "PAGE3" }, { "src": "0120.jpg", "title": null, "fileid": "JPEG4", "pageid": "PAGE4" } ], "serial_info": [ { "text": "1872", "level": "1", "order": "1872" }, { "text": "May", "level": "2", "order": "5" }, { "text": "29", "level": "3", "order": "29" } ], "Aggregations": [ { "code": "cndl", "name": "Caribbean Newspapers, dLOC", "type": null, "shortname": "Caribbean Newspapers", "dloc": true }, { "code": "dloc1", "name": "Digital Library of the Caribbean", "type": null, "shortname": "Digital Library of the Caribbean" } ], "MainThumbnail": "0117thm.jpg", "PermanentLink": "http://ufdc.ufl.edu/AA00093222/00218", "HoldingLocation": [ "University of Florida", { "text": "UF", "type": "code" } ], "PublicationDate": [ "May 29, 1872" ], "item_sort_title": "BERBICE GAZETTE AND BRITISH GUIANA ADVERTISER", "RightsManagement": "NO COPYRIGHT - UNITED STATES\n\nThis Rights Statement should be used for Items for which the organization that intends to make the Item available has determined are free of copyright under the laws of the United States.
