History Collections

Microform Collections (Latin America)

U.S. State Department documents are micropublished in two groups. Up to 1906, records were grouped as "Despatches" (from the U.S. Minister in the country or from the consuls maintained in various cities throughout the world) and "Notes" (from the foreign country's own legation in the U.S.). Beginning in 1910, and running through 1929, diplomatic records are grouped into three conceptual categories: records relating to the internal affairs of the country in question, records relating to political relations between that country and the U.S., and records relating to to the relations between that country and other countries. Records after 1929 have not generally been micropublished. Following are two tables: the first summarizing all records except consular despatches, and the second listing consular despatches and records at length, sorted by country.
