Here are a few of the things I found that even remotely were on topic for this group:

Anza, José Vicente de

    Papers, 1784-1839; 4 folders (.25 linear ft.)

    José Vicente de Anza was a prominent Mexican miner, owner of several mines and mining mill refineries during the late eighteenth century in central Mexico. He was the business associate of José de la Borda, the most important miner of his time. When de la Borda died in 1778, Anza acquired most of his remaining mines and mills from Borda’s heirs.

The Anza mines were located in the towns of Cuernavaca, Oaxaca, Mexico City, Taxco, Tehuilotepeque, Temascatepec, Tetecala, Real de Hualtla, Zacatecas, and Zitácuaro. They included the following mines: Cantera, Cielo del Carmen, Encarnación, el Laborio de San Francisco, la Frente de Santa Bárbara, la Frente del Poder de Dios, la Frente y Plan del Carmen, Los Planes, Molino de la Zarza del Norte, San José de la Luz, San Crispín, Todos los Santos, Torrancita, and Zoquite.

    Correspondence. The bulk of the collection is Don José Vicente de Anza’s correspondence regarding his mining endeavors,1784-1810. There are a few letters on family matters as well.

Finding aid available.

    Purchase, 1988.
