Return to the Table of Contents Scope and ContentsCorrespondence, legal and official documents, literary productions, municipal records of Sinaloa, lists, printed materials, and fragments of facsimiles. Correspondence, lists, and reports relate primarily to Mexico's War of Independence; included are letters to, from, and about José María Morelos, José María Cos, and Ignacio Rayón López. An 1812 letter from Cos contains a 14-page insurgent resolution titled “La nación americana a los europeos vezinos de este continente.” Among the official documents is a facsimile of Morelos' 1813 decree abolishing slavery. Legal documents include accusations and proceedings of the Inquisition and proceedings in the embezzlement case against Joseph Joachín de Uribe y Castejón. Uribe's 1732 resignation from the post of administrator of the royal treasury in Puebla is contained in the official documents. Fragments of facsimiles of codices pertain to Moctezuma's descendants. Printed materials are about slavery, Queen Isabella I, the Inquisition, and the Francisco Javier Mina expedition. A clause from Isabella's will is quoted in a papal bull. Documents pertaining to the Catholic Church include an essay discussing who had the power to administer the Church's estate, and official documents requesting priests or priest coadjutors. Municipal records of Sinaloa date from 1778-1780. The materials are in Spanish. Return to the Table of Contents
