Paleography and How Spanish Documents Can Unlock Family History

by

Robert Martinez

Assistant State Historian

Paleography is the study of ancient writings and inscriptions, including their dating and cultural context. Learning how to use old Spanish documents can help to fill in important details about the lives of your ancestors.

These records are found in the Spanish Archives of NewMexico, Series I and II, as well as in many additional collections housed at the New Mexico State Archives in Santa Fe and other locations around our State.

Robert will also discuss period customs.

This program is free and open to the public.

Questions? Call (505) 848-1376 or email info@nmgs.org.
