Documents which were copied in the archives by methods other than microfilm are listed in
this Calendar. The copies were made mostly from about 1908 through the 1930's. Some were
copied by hand, some were typed, and a few were enlarged from microfilm. Some were copied
on funds provided by Phoebe Apperson Hearst, the Native Sons of the Golden West Travelling
Fellowship Fund, and other endowments. Some were done privately by graduate students and
scholars.
The arrangement of sections and
legajos follows that of the
Archivo General de Indias. The arrangement within the
legajo
is purely chronological. In many cases both the old signature and the modern
legajo equivalent appear as identification; in other cases only
one or the other is available at this time.
Each document herein listed has been checked against Chapman's
Catalogue of Materials in the Archivo General de Indias, and the Chapman number
noted in the description. The Catalogue has been annotated appropriately for record prints
and transcripts. No attempt has been made within this Calendar to note where modern
microfilm correlates to these copies. The use of the microfilm notebooks and this key
together would make such a correlation possible.
Documents copied from the archive may also appear in other transcript collections,
catalogued separately. This arrangement was necessary because of the physical nature of
the material (bound in volumes, etc.) Cross references to these collections appear in the
beginnings of the sections of this Calendar. Other collections which include AGI material
are BANC MSS Z-E 3, Z-E 9, Z-E 10, and Z-E 13. A key is available for each.
The arrangement of
ramos follows that of the AGI. In
addition, within the
ramo, documents are identified with
legajo number and/or date to provide a citation to the
original source.
Documents, unless otherwise marked, are transcripts.
