Guide to the Materials for the History of the United States in Spanish Archives (Classic Reprint): Simancas, the Archivo Histórico Nacional, and Seville - Softcover
Synopsis
Discover the documentary trail behind early American history and its Spanish archives.
This volume surveys the major repositories that hold the materials for the history of the United States in Spanish archives, focusing on Simancas, the National Historical Archives in Madrid, and the Archives of the Indies in Seville. It explains how key documents—patents, capitulations, commissions, decrees, and mission records—supply context for expeditions to Florida, the missions in Florida and New Spain, and the broader colonial administration.
Readers will learn how these records are organized, how to navigate inventories and legajos, and what kinds of materials to expect across sections like the House of Trade, the Tribunal of Cadiz, and the postal papers. The guide also notes the limited but growing access to these papers, the role of the Archives of the Indies in governance, and the potential for discovery in maps and other supplementary holdings.
- Insights into Florida expeditions, missions, fortifications, and colonial administration.
- Practical guidance on inventories, shelf-numbers, and finding aids used in the archives.
- Overview of key collections including the House of Trade, the Cadiz records, and postal documents.
- Information on access and the scope of material spanning discovery through the 19th century.
Ideal for readers of U.S. and Latin American history, as well as researchers tracing colonial ties and archival sources.
