The materials currently included in this digital archive were collected by Dr. Ray Ball and undergraduate researcher Caroline Streff during the summer of 2017 with support from the UAA Honors College. These sources come from Spanish and Cuban archives and libraries. English translations of these documents have been provided by Dr. Ball and Spanish and Nursing major Joy Wannamaker and Spanish major Perla Richerson. Dr. Ball and undergraduate student researchers Khafani Abel, Brittney Anderson, and Caroline Streff have provided short introductions to the documents, as well as some timelines and bibliographies to point you in the right directions for further research on topics that center on or involve Cuba and Cuban resources within the wider contexts of the Iberian Atlantic World and colonial Latin America.
