Scope and Content Note
The Latin American mss. Cuba, 1607-1869, are composed principally of manuscripts in two legajos concerning the Zaldivar family.
The first, by far the
larger of the two, is Legajo de Documentos que acreditan los servicios prestados al Rey y a la patria, por el Sr. Dn. Jose
de Zaldivar y Murguia...
Covering the years 1792-1815, it contains correspondence, receipts, and records of Zaldivar y Murguia's contributions to society,
the government,
the army, and the King. The other legajo, containing only three items, was compiled by Zaldivar y Murguia's son after his
death.
