Description/Summary

Summary:

The bundles, boxes, and stacks of paper and books of the colonial records of the Archivo Histórico del Arzobispado de México include three major record sets: Fondo Episcopal, Fondo Cabildo, and Fondo Juzgado Eclesiástico de Toluca. This electronic archive is the result of the digitalization of the colonial documentation, excluding extremely fragile documents, photocopies of documents located in other repositories, the oversized documents conserved in map cases, and several boxes of documents discovered among other record sets. The original 199,667 JPG image files were converted into PDF files, concatenated to conform to the paper files and books, and provided an electronic interface.

Biographical/Historical Note:

The Archivo Histórico del Arzobispado de México traces its roots to the creation of the offices of the diocese in Mexico City under the Bula Sacri Apostolatus Ministerio, issued by Pope Clement VII on September 2, 1530. That papal bull gave rise to the pastoral, administrative, and legislative activities of the Church in New Spain. Thenceforth, all of the documentation generated by the activities in the central Mexican bishopric and subsequent archbishopric gave form to the archive. Today the colonial section of the archive houses 9550 documents and 319 books related to the administration of the archdiocese.
