Spanish-Language Archives
Documents from various archives for which an attempt has been made to transcribe and translate
Some key Spanish-language documents are displayed on the various sub-pages of this site; however, other documents of lesser importance or with peripheral content to the Forts Velasco are listed below. Readers with fluency in Spanish are asked to help improve the transcriptions or translations for both types, so we have provided links to a copy of the original document, as well as the current state of the transcription/translation.
