No 124. ROBERTSON, JAMES ALEXANDER. List of Documents in Spanish Archives 

 Relating to the History of the United States, which have been printed 

 or of which Transcripts are Preserved in American Libraries. Octavo, 

 xv-f-368 pages. Published 1910. Price $2.25. 



This book aims to assist those using No. 91 as well as other investigators of 

 the history of the United States in its relation to Spain, by indicating all those docu- 

 ments useful to their purposes, in Spanish archives, which can be examined without 

 going or sending to Spain. It consists of two lists. The first indicates, in chrono- 

 logical order and with proper references, all those documents of this sort which are 

 already in print. The second is a list, in similar order, of all those which may be 

 found in American libraries in the form of transcripts. A full index exhibits names 

 of writers, names of persons addressed, and subjects. 



No. 163. BOLTON, HERBERT E. Guide to Materials for the History of the United 

 States in the Principal Archives of Mexico. Octavo, xv-j-553 pages. 

 Published 1913. Price $3.50. 



While presenting descriptive accounts of all the archives in Mexico examined by 

 Professor Bolton, this volume is mainly occupied with lists of documentary ma- 

 terials bearing on the history of the United States. The largest part of it is devoted 

 to such lists for archives in the city of Mexico; but a large number of provincial 

 archives were searched, especially in the cities of northern Mexico upon which the 

 regions now called Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California at one time de- 

 pended, either in a civil or in an ecclesiastical sense. To a large extent these 

 searches have been pioneer work, laying open treasures of material hitherto un- 

 explored. Many of the documents bear upon the history of the relations between 

 Mexico and the United States, especially about the time of the Mexican War; 

 others illustrate in countless ways the progress of exploration, Spanish colonization, 

 mission work, Indian hostilities, and American settlement in the present southwest. 

 In the city of Mexico, to whose archives the major portion of the book is devoted, the 

 repositories most largely reported upon are the national collections in the Archivo 

 General y Publico and the archives of the executive departments, especially the 

 Secretaria de Relaciones, the Secretaria de Gobernacion, and the War Department. 

 No. 83. PEREZ, Luis MARINO. Guide to the Materials for American History in 



Cuban Archives. Octavo, x+142 pages. Published 1907. Price $0.75. 

 The Cuban archives, in spite of the removal of large quantities of papers to Spain 

 in 1888 and 1898, and of many losses due to political changes, embrace a large mass 

 of valuable historical material. The fact that, under the old administrative system 

 of Spain, Florida and Louisiana were under the jurisdiction of the captain-general 

 of Cuba, brings it about that considerable masses of these papers have a direct 

 relation to the history of the United States. Mr. Perez spent five months in the 

 investigation of these papers. His book gives a general description of the Cuban 

 archives, traces historically the development of the administrative system of Cuba, 

 describes the principal archive material relating to the history of the United States, 

 and furnishes an itemized list of the papers most important in this respect. 

 No. 128. FISH, C. R. Guide to the Materials for American History in Roman 



and Other Italian Archives. Octavo, ix+259 pages. Published 1911. 



Price $2.00. 



Nine-tenths of this book relate to archives in Rome. In that city the two col- 

 lections most abounding in materials for American history, and described in the 

 most detailed manner in this volume, are the archives of the Vatican and those of 

 the Congregation of the Propaganda. The former embraces the correspondence of 

 the papal secretaries of state with the nuncios of Spain, France, and other colo- 

 nizing countries, and various correspondence with bishops and other ecclesiastics in 

 America. Taken in connection with the archives of the Propaganda, or chief mis- 

 sionary office, these archives not only display with great fulness the ecclesiastical 

 and religious history of early America and of the Catholic portions of the United
