Suarez, Michael Felix, and H. R. Woudhuysen. “The Indian Subcontinent, the Technologies of Print.” The Book: A Global History, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2013. 

Michael F. Suarez is a professor at the University of Virginia. He is 62 years old and graduated from Bucknell University and pursued further education at the University of Oxford according to his LinkedIn. H.R. Woudhuysen has been the Rector of Lincoln College, Oxford since 2012. Before, he served as the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at University College London. The book is a highly credible source because it is peer-reviewed, academically published, and carried by our library. This has been the most useful source and has lots of information on the printing press's origin and the printing press in Goa. It also discusses the culture surrounding Goa at the time the printing press was introduced.

This source touched on a specific text published by the Goa printing press. It was a medical text that was highly influential and written by a doctor who spent most of his later life living in Goa after his family was persecuted in Portugal.

This source was found through Wikipedia’s Goa article cited works. Most of it was largely summed up within the previous sources so I did not use it in my project. Still it provided me some confirmation on existing research and additional information on the broader cultural impacts of the press.

D'Cuhna, Noel. “[Goanet-News] Goanet Reader: Printing in Goa: Back to the Future .” The Mail Archive, 17 Mar. 2009, https://www.mail-archive.com/goanet-news@lists.goanet.org/msg01331.html. 

This source was found through Wikipedia’s Goa article cited works. Like the source above, much of this was repetitive or lacked any further depth that I could add to the information that I already had. It was also not found through a database so it was a little less reliable.
