The main Spanish archives for the history of Louisiana in this guide are the archives maintained by Spain’s Ministry of Culture (Archivo General de Indias, Archivo General de Simancas, Archivo Histórico Nacional, Sección Nobleza del Archivo Histórico Nacional), the archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and other archives maintained by the Ministry of Defense or military archives (Archivo General de la Marina Álvaro de Bazán, Archivo Museo Naval, Archivo General Militar de Madrid, Archivo Cartográfico y de estudios Geográficos del Centro Geográfico del Ejército and Archivo Militar General de Segovia). An entry has been created for each of these archives with practical information, the history of the institution, and a description of its holdings and documents relating to Louisiana. It also indicates the available reference or description tools, electronic resources and online access to their content and documents. There is also a special explanation of how to access PARES (www.pares.mcu.es), the online portal created for the state archives of the Ministry of Culture, which incidentally have the largest holdings of documentation for the study of Louisiana. Finally, there is a list of the documents and holdings in each archive, found by online search, databases and the other digital resources now available. We also indicate whether the documents and holdings found for Louisiana are currently digitized, and if so, whether they can be consulted online. The guide also includes a list and description of the main Spanish libraries with holdings on Louisiana, such as the Biblioteca Nacional de Madrid, the Real Academia de la Historia, the Real Biblioteca del Palacio Real, and the Biblioteca Antonio de Ulloa. A description is provided of each one, including practical information, as well as a list of works relating to Louisiana in these repositories. It should be pointed out that only works pre-dating 1900 have been included, except for catalogues and reference tools. Information is included on online access to the descriptive catalogue files now available in all these libraries. Also, we indicate where libraries have digital platforms for consulting their digitized works directly, as in the Biblioteca Digital Hispánica, the Biblioteca Virtual de Defensa and the Biblioteca Virtual Miguel de Cervantes. Finally we include other online resources, such as the digital networks of educational or cultural institutions where a single search can cover all the centers or institutions in that network. Thus, this guide lists the manuscripts, books and maps on Louisiana found in the Red de Bibliotecas Universitarias Españolas (REBIUN) and the Red de Bibliotecas del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), which have enabled us to find holdings relating to Louisiana in: Bibliotecas de la AECID (Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo), Bibliotecas de la Universidad Pontificia Comillas de Madrid, de la Universitat de Valencia, Universidad de Oviedo, Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, Universitat de Barcelona, Universitat Ramon Llull, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Universidad de Sevilla, Universidad de Navarra, Biblioteca de Catalunya, Biblioteca Tomás Navarro Tomás, Archivo y Biblioteca del Real Jardín Botánico de Madrid and Escuela de Estudios Hispanoamericanos del CSIC. Please note that the descriptions and information on each of the Archives and Libraries in this guide are taken from their own websites and description tools. It is also important to note that this guide is an overview of the main archives, libraries and holdings found to date relating to Louisiana, through the online tools and other digital resources offered by each of these institutions. This is an up-to-date but partial approximation of the holdings relating to Louisiana which exist in Spain. Up-to-date, because we have gathered the information and results currently offered by the archives and libraries we include, but these will change as the description and digitization process continues in each one. Partial, because the results we present in this guide for each of the centers consulted reflect searches for the term “Luisiana” and some of its variants, and so searches for other terms, for example, geographical terms, other names, materials, or general works on the USA, etc., would undoubtedly produce new results. In short, we hope this guide will be a useful and up-to-date tool for finding historic documentary holdings relating to Louisiana in the main Spanish Archives and Libraries, for use in future research.

OTHER SECTIONS LIST OF DOCUMENTS RELATING TO LOUISIANA IN THE ARCHIVO GENERAL DE INDIAS (Appendices 1 to 7) ARCHIVO GENERAL DE INDIAS (AGI) HISTORY The Archivo General de Indias was created in 1785 at the express wish of King Charles III, in order to collect in a single place the documents on the Indies which were then scattered in other locations in Spain, such as Simancas, Cadiz and Seville. Until then, the documents relating to the management of the overseas territories (Ultramar) had been divided between the Archivo General de Simancas, founded in the 16th century, and the separate archives of the Consejo de Indias and the Casa de la Contratación. While initially the members of the Consejo Real studied and issued rulings on the affairs of the Indies, over time, the volume of these matters increased so much that it became necessary to create specific institutions to take charge of the government and administration of these new territories of the Crown. This was the origin of the Supremo y Real Consejo de las Indias and the Casa de la Contratación, which became the main governing bodies of the American colonies. The project to create this Archive was driven by the Secretary of the Indies, José de Gálvez, and carried out by the academic and historian Juan Bautista Muñoz, cosmographer-major of the Indies. The splendid building, Seville’s Casa Lonja, built in the reign of Philip II according to plans by Juan de Herrera, was chosen for its characteristics and size to hold this enormous collection of documents, as it continues to do today. In October 1785 the first documents from Simancas arrived at the Casa Lonja. From then on, the holdings of the main institutions of the Indies would be added in batches, eventually making the archive the main depository of documents for the study of Spanish government in the Americas. Most of the documents now held in the archive, on over seven linear kilometers of bookshelves and in 43,175 bundles (legajos), are from the bodies in Spain itself responsible for colonial administration.

  • A Confusion of Institutions: Spanish Law and Practice in a Francophone Colony, Louisiana, 1763-Circa 1798
    THE TULANE EUROPEAN AND CIVIL LAW FORUM VOLUME 31/32 2017 A Confusion of Institutions: Spanish Law and Practice in a Francophone Colony, Louisiana, 1763-circa 1798 Paul E Hoffman* I. INTRODUCTION ..................................................................................... 1 II. THE ECONOMIC SYSTEM AND LOCAL LAW AND ORDER .................... 4 III. SLAVERY ............................................................................................. 13 IV. CONCLUSION ...................................................................................... 20 I. INTRODUCTION French Louisiana had been a thorn in the flank of Spain’s Atlantic Empire from its founding in 1699. Failure to remove that thorn in 1699 and again in 1716, when doing so would have been comparatively easy and Spanish naval forces were positioned to do so, meant that by 1762 the wound had festered, so that the colony had become what La Salle, Iberville, Bienville, and their royal masters had envisioned: a smuggling station through which French goods reached New Spain and Cuba and their goods—dye stuffs and silver mostly—reached France and helped to pay the costs of a colony that consumed more than it produced, at least so 1 far as the French crown’s finances were concerned. * © 2017 Paul E Hoffman. Professor Emeritus of History, Louisiana State University. 1. I have borrowed the “thorn” from ROBERT S. WEDDLE, THE FRENCH THORN: RIVAL EXPLORERS IN THE SPANISH SEA, 1682-1762 (1991); ROBERT S. WEDDLE, CHANGING TIDES: TWILIGHT AND DAWN IN THE SPANISH SEA, 1763-1803 (1995) (carries the story of explorations).

  • Comparison of Spanish Colonization—Latin America and the Philippines
    Title: Comparison of Spanish Colonization—Latin America and the Philippines Teacher: Anne Sharkey, Huntley High School Summary: This lesson took part as a comparison of the different aspects of the Spanish maritime empires with a comparison of Spanish colonization of Mexico & Cuba to that of the Philippines. The lessons in this unit begin with a basic understanding of each land based empire of the time period 1450-1750 (Russia, Ottomans, China) and then with a movement to the maritime transoceanic empires (Spain, Portugal, France, Britain). This lesson will come after the students already have been introduced to the Spanish colonial empire and the Spanish trade systems through the Atlantic and Pacific. Through this lesson the students will gain an understanding of Spanish systems of colonial rule and control of the peoples and the territories. The evaluation of causes of actions of the Spanish, reactions to native populations, and consequences of Spanish involvement will be discussed with the direct correlation between the social systems and structures created, the influence of the Christian missionaries, the rebellions and conflicts with native populations between the two locations in the Latin American Spanish colonies and the Philippines. Level: High School Content Area: AP World History, World History, Global Studies Duration: Lesson Objectives: Students will be able to: Compare the economic, political, social, and cultural structures of the Spanish involvement in Latin America with the Spanish involvement with the Philippines Compare the effects of mercantilism on Latin America and the Philippines Evaluate the role of the encomienda and hacienda system on both regions Evaluate the influence of the silver trade on the economies of both regions Analyze the creation of a colonial society through the development of social classes—Peninsulares, creoles, mestizos, mulattos, etc.

During this period, New Orleans’ vendors labored in the streets of diverse neighborhoods where they did more than sell a vital commodity. As “Nourishing Networks” demonstrates, the food economy provided the disenfranchised—people of color, women, and recent migrants—a means to connect themselves to the public culture of the city, despite legal prohibitions intended to keep them on the margins. Those who were legally marginalized exercised considerable influence over the city’s public culture, shaping both economic and social interactions among urban residents in the public sphere.

  • MEMORIA SOBRE LAS PROVINCIAS DE SONORA, SINALOA Y LAS CALIFORNIAS (1820), POR MIGUEL RAMOSARIZPE
    MEMORIA SOBRE LAS PROVINCIAS DE SONORA, SINALOA y LAS CALIFORNIAS (1820), POR MIGUEL RAMOSARIZPE Introducción y notas de Juan Domingo VmARGAS DEL MORAL Mientras que en el escenario político de la metropóli española y en casi todas sus colonias americanas la segunda década del siglo XIX se signi- ficÓ como un periodo de fuerte actividad política por el influjo de los trabajos parlamentarios desarrollados en las Cortes de Cádiz, las pro- vincias noroccidentales de la Nueva España parecían permanecer igno- radas <:>poco atendidas por los diputados participantes en las delibera- ciones gaditanas. Durante el primer ciclo constitucional (1809-1814:) se pueden citar apenas uno o dos decretos que concernían a esa región y fue hasta diciembre de 1820 que surgió a la luz un documento más amplio y de factura formal que llevó por título el de Exposición o Memoria sobreel estadonatural, civil y político militar de las provincias de Sonora, Sinaloa y las Californias. Esta Memoria se debe a la pluma y al ánimo inquieto de Miguel Ra- mos Arizpe cuya carismática personalidad le hizo destacarse entre los diputados americanos que participaron en la sesiones de Jas Cortes de Cádiz y en la elaboración de la Constitución de 1812. Nacido en San Nicolás de ras Labores, hoy Ramos Arizpe, cerca de Saltillo, siguió la carrera eclesiástica y luego de una complicada época de su vida en Monterrey se trasladó a la ciudad de México donde concluyó sus estu- dios universitarios hasta titularse como abogado en agosto de 1810. La agitada marea política de aquellos tiempos le permitió un rápido acceso a la vida pública c\lando en la península ibérica se convocó a las Cortes para elaborar una Constitución con la participación de diputados de to- das las provincias del imperio.

  • The Maritime Voyage of Jorge Juan to the Viceroyalty of Peru (1735-1746)
    The Maritime Voyage of Jorge Juan to the Viceroyalty of Peru (1735-1746) Enrique Martínez-García — Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas* María Teresa Martínez-García — Kansas University** Translated into English (August 2012) One of the most famous scientific expeditions of the Enlightenment was carried out by a colorful group of French and Spanish scientists—including the new Spanish Navy lieutenants D. Jorge Juan y Santacilia (Novelda 1713-Madrid 1773) and D. Antonio de Ulloa y de la Torre-Giralt (Seville 1716-Isla de León 1795)—at the Royal Audience of Quito in the Viceroyalty of Peru between 1736 and 1744. There, the expedition conducted geodesic and astronomical observations to calculate a meridian arc associated with a degree in the Equator and to determine the shape of the Earth. The Royal Academy of Sciences of Paris, immersed in the debate between Cartesians (according to whom the earth was a spheroid elongated along the axis of rotation (as a "melon")) and Newtonians (for whom it was a spheroid flattened at the poles (as a "watermelon")), decided to resolve this dispute by comparing an arc measured near the Equator (in the Viceroyalty of Peru, present-day Ecuador) with another measured near the North Pole (in Lapland). The expedition to the Equator, which is the one that concerns us in this note, was led by Louis Godin (1704-1760), while Pierre Louis Moreau de Maupertuis (1698-1759) headed the expedition to Lapland. The knowledge of the shape and size of the Earth had great importance for the improvement of cartographic, geographic, and navigation techniques during that time.
