Sánchez, Director SCRC, NPS in April 2000 INTRODUCTION TO COLLECTION Dr. Joseph P. Sánchez, Director TO THE READER The Spanish Colonial Research Center (SCRC) was established by the National Park Service in 1986 as a partnership with the University of New Mexico. The SCRC facilitates the research requirements of Spanish Colonial Heritage Sites of the National Park Service as well as other pertinent local, state, and regional entities. The SCRC also cooperates with research organizations in Spain, Portugal, Mexico and other Latin American countries to further the study of colonial Luso- Hispano history. To that end, the Spanish Colonial Research Center is also the publisher of the Colonial Latin American Historical Review (CLAHR). The SCRC has collected over 85,000 pages of microfilmed colonial documents and over 4,500 maps, architectural plans, and sketches form Spanish and Mexican archives. This invaluable collection provides essential sources of information for those interested in Spanish Colonial history in North America. The SCRC is hopeful that the user of this index and microfilm collection will find them to be significant sources of information for research, interpretation, and cultural resources management. The present Guide is the result of research efforts in Spain and Mexico by the National Park Service's Spanish Colonial Research Center. The Guide is a calendared index for fourteen rolls of microfilm outlined below in the table of contents. The index is organized to identify each document by "Record Number." Two record numbers are indicated: the first identifies the computer inventory number; the second demonstrates the Spanish Colonial Research Center archival and microfilm classification code for particular entries. For example, the original documents are identified by archive and have been assigned a "Record Number" as follows: 1PT44-116.AGI or microfilm roll #1, frames 44-116, Sección Patronato, Archivo General de Indias, Sevilla. The "Publishing Place/Location" indicates that microfilm copies of documents are located in the National Park Services's Spanish Colonial Research Center Collection. All place names or proper names and their variations mentioned in specific documents are listed under "Place Names in Document" and "Names of People in Document," for review by the researcher as well as for retrieval purposes in the computerized component of this index. A list of themes suggested in the documents is included under "Topics and Subtopics in Documents." The calendars and microfilm collections are also keyed to Spanish Colonial Heritage sites in the National Park Service. Present names of the referenced parks are associated with the variant spellings of colonial place names which they represent largely based on the states and other entities in which they are located. NOTE TO PATRON: A calendar for a small portion of the France V. Scholes Collection at the University of New Mexico is also included herein encompassed within the numbers 3578 and 3681. THESE ENTRIES HAVE BEEN REMOVED BECAUSE THE SCHOLES COLLECTION AT CSWR WAS REPROCESSED AND THEY NO LONGER MATCH. NOW SEE CSWR MSS 360 BC SCHOLES COLLECTION (be sure to check the Detailed Finding guide link within the Scholes collection on the RMOA). I wish to acknowledge individuals who have, in the course of fourteen years (1986-2000) assisted me in the preparation of this calendar, some of whom have since earned their doctorates at the University of New Mexico. Among them are: Dr. Jerry Gurulé, Angélica Sánchez-Clark, Dr. Aurora Morcillo, Bruce A. Erickson, Dr. Rosalind Rock, Gustavo Navarro, Aaron Mahr, Dr. Jerome Branch, Dr. Ximena Sosa-Bucholz, Dr. William Broughton, María Luisa Pérez González, Anne Marcy-Benitez, Arturo Fernandez Gibert, Humberto Rivas, Paul Herron, Arturo Dell'Acqua, and Joaquín Chamorro Ibañez. Additionally, Ms. Edwina Abreu and Dr. Gurulé deserve special mention in coordinating the project during my absence while working in the Spanish and Mexican archives. Joseph P.
