Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Guide to the Materials for American History in Cuban Archives The preparation of a series of volumes which should, in one form or other, furnish the student with systematic guidance to the materials for American history in foreign archives, was from the foundation of the Department of Historical Research in the Carnegie Institution of Washington contemplated as one of its most important functions. Vast stores of such materials lie in those archives, usually as the result of America´s former colonial condition. As the consequence of that colonial relation, too, it often happens that the fundamental official series giving the history of government in America are rather to be found in the archives of the mother country than in those of the United States or the states. Yet the exploitation for historical purposes of these rich materials, a task for America rather than for European countries to undertake, has been carried out only partially and with little system, for the purposes of individual historians or at most of individual states. The Department of Historical Research in the Carnegie Institution has set itself to remedy these defects in the documentation of American history, and has chosen as the first step in methodical exploitation the preparation of guides to the material, of the nature of general surveys of what is contained in individual archives or groups of archives. Three such guides have reached an advanced stage of preparation. The first is the present volume. Second stands a much larger book, now in the press, a Guide to the Materials for the History of the United States to 1783 in London Archives, in the British Museum, and in the Manuscript Collections of Oxford and Cambridge, prepared with elaborate care by Professor Charles M. Andrews of Bryn Mawr College, with assistance from Miss Frances G. Davenport of this Department. Thirdly, we have ready for the press a Guide to the Materials for the History of the United States in Spanish Archives (Simancas, the Archivo Historico Nacional and Seville), prepared by Professor William R. Shepherd of Columbia University. The next to be undertaken will be similar guides to materials in the archives of Paris and Mexico, the former by Mr. Waldo G. Leland of this Department, the latter by Professor Herbert E. Bolton of the University of Texas. The mode of treatment adopted in such handbooks will vary according to the situation in which the materials lie in the repositories explored.
