The two main collections of documents were compiled in the 19th century from the Archives of the Indies and the Spanish Royal Academy of History. The first, Colección de documentos inéditos relativos al descubrimiento, conquista y organización de las antiguas posesiones españolas de America y Oceania (LLMC 38000), in 42 volumes, covers the period from 1251 to 1796. Each document is transcribed from the original manuscript as written and they contain the laws of New Spain as well as documents from the Royal and Supreme Council of the Indies.
The second title, Colección de documentos inéditos relativos al descubrimiento, conquista y organización de las antiguas posesiones españolas de ultramar (LLMC 38001), was conceived as second series to the previous work. Among the many royal communiqués, legal documents, historical reports Since these two series relate to multiple modern jurisdictions, if you browse the collections for Spain or Cuba for two examples, you will find these titles added there.
