States and in commemoration of the Columbus Quincentennial in
1992, the National Park Service established the Spanish Colonial
Research Center in partnership with the University of New Mexico.
The center's primary purpose is serving research needs by providing
a computerized data base from Spanish colonial documents. More
than 85,000 pages of microfilmed Spanish colonial documents and
approximately 4,500 maps, architectural plans, and sketches of
North America have been accumulated.
