Stetson collection, 1766-1797.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/399711912

These are microfilm copies of part of the Stetson Collection at the P.K. Yonge Library of Florida History at the University of Florida, Gainesville, Fla. This set is part of a much larger collection of some 7,000 documents (approx. 130,000 sheets) photocopied from the Archivo General de Indias in Seville, Spain, in the 1920s under the patronage of John Batterson Stetson Jr. The larger Stetson Collection concerns all phases of Spanish activity in the Southeast Borderlands from 1518 to 1819. Most of the selected documents here are from Seccíon 5, "Gobierno Audiencia de Santo Domingo" and "Papeles Procedentes de la Isla de Cuba." They pertain chiefly to Spanish Louisiana, Spanish West Florida, and the second Spanish period in East Florida. Since the documents were filmed prior to the reorganization of legajos in the Archivo General de Indias, see the conversion table by Paul E. Hoffman in the inventory folder for comparison with current organization of the legajos. See also "A List of the Papeles de Cuba Material found in the Stetson Collection" prepared by Bruce Chappell in 1976.
