Accession#1993-0196

Scope and content:

This original accession contains summaries of the fiscal records of the royal treasuries of various regions in colonial Spanish America. The records cover the 16th century through the early 19th century. The districts, cities and towns represented in these records are in present-day Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina and Panama. The majority of the records are copies of the original documents. Interspersed with the copies are transcriptions of records as well as notes. This container list enumerates the regions, cities, or towns represented in each box and the general time span covered by the records. For the most part, records for a particular place are found together. However, the records for one place may also be in more than one group within and among the boxes. The date ranges for each entry within a box reflect the time span covered by all the material found in that box for that entry, even when records for the place are found in more than one group within the box. The date ranges given do not imply that records for every year within the range are present.
