ARCHIVO DEL IMPERIO. 
(Archive of the Empire.) 
This is a collection of documents concerning the military activities of the 
Empire, covering the period 1763-1767. It is composed of 182 large legajos, 
of perhaps a thousand pages each. The legajos are all labelled “ Varios 
asuntos de la época del llamado Imperio”. They are arranged according to 
year, but there is no further classification, except that ordinarily the bundles 
within the legajos are in themselves units. There is no index. 
I can not say whether the collection is in any sense complete, but it would 
seem that it is a fairly complete file of the records of the central military 
authorities of the Empire. The principal classes of materials noted in a gen- 
eral examination are the following: 
Correspondence and routine business of the “ Direccién Militar ” of the 
Private Secretariat of the Emperor. Military orders. 
Correspondence of the Inspection-General of Cavalry (Inspeccién Gen- 
eral de Caballeria) of the Imperial army with the various com- 
manders and with the Imperial Secretariat of War and Marine. 
Routine business of the Inspection-General.
