haven't checked this out but the description sounded interesting:
1. Exploring the Early Americas [Macromedia Flash Player]
http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/earlyamericas/
The Jay I. Kislak Collection at the Library of Congress contains over 3000
rare maps, documents, paintings, and other artifacts that span hundreds of
years. Recently, the Library of Congress created this very engaging online
exhibition in order to provide the general public with access to a selection
of these documents. As the site notes, the collection "provides insight into
indigenous cultures, the drama of the encounters between Native Americans
and European explorers and settlers, and the pivotal changes caused by the
meeting of the American and European worlds." The online materials are
divided into three sections: "Pre-Contact America", "Explorations and
Encounters", and "Aftermath of the Encounter". Some of the objects included
throughout these sections include a Mayan jaguar sculpture and a hand-
colored engraving detailing the route of Sir France Drake from the late 16th
century. Finally, the "Interactives" area includes a complete version of the
classic work "The Buccaneers of America" and the famed 1507 and 1516 world
maps by Martin Waldseemüller. [KMG]

Download pics of Castas
Hi Joseph ,
Is there any way possible to download the pics of the Castas . I've tried to download them to my memory stick but , no luck . Are we permitted to do so ? This coming Tuesday I will be attending the monthly meeting of the Sociedad de Genealogia de Monterrey and I opened my mouth and told Daniel Zambrano the current president that I was going to share them with the group . Please let me know if I can do this , and if I can how can I go about it .
Thanks a bunch ,
Welester
