has systematically supplemented its original manuscript sources by securing transcriptions, photostatic copies, or microfilm
of manuscripts and archives relating to U.S. history that are located in foreign repositories. These reproductions are housed
in the Manuscript Division and are described in various published and unpublished finding aids. Of specific interest to readers
of this essay are the unpublished checklists titled “Foreign Copying Project-Spain” and “Foreign Copying Project-Spain and
Latin America.” In addition to the reproductions acquired directly by the Library and described in these two guides, the Manuscript
Division also holds two other collections of Spanish-related materials assembled by private individuals, Woodbury Lowery and
James Alexander Robertson. Of particular note are the “Manuscripts, California, 1588-1800” in the Lowery Collection, container
