Guillermo Dupaix Papers, 1804-1820.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/29743576

Among Dupaix's personal archives and the individually numbered items are correspondence, passports and other official documents, literary productions, and financial documents concerning the three expeditions lead by Dupaix (filed as Guillermo Dupaix Papers, G308 Ms., G309 Ms., G314 Ms., G315 Ms., G316 Ms., G319 Ms., G321 Ms., G322 Ms., G339 Ms.), solicitation of salaries (G354 Ms.), charges of treason brought against Dupaix (G323 Ms.), settlement by executor Fausto de Elhuyar of Dupaix's estate including Dupaix's will (G369 Ms.), mandates after Dupaix's death for the collection of the manuscripts, drawings, and artifacts emanating from the expeditions (G373 Ms.) and the manuscript "Dedicación al Congreso Gral. de la Nación Mexicana" by H. Baredere, editor of some of Dupaix's work (G434 Ms.). The collection also contains a log which traces the commissioning of Dupaix for the explorations (G245 Ms.). Miscellaneous notes and manuscripts in Dupaix's personal archives include Algunos avisos prácticos para mejorar mi comisión by Dupaix. A biographical sketch entitled, "Yndicaciones relativas al Sor. Guillermo Dupaix" appears to be the answer to an attached letter of 1851 from the Belgian consul representing Dupaix's descendants. Much of the correspondence is with Viceroy José de Iturrigaray y Aróstegui.
