About this webinar
Housed in an old prison, the Archivo General de la Nación (or AGN, General Archive of the Nation), is home for the historical memory of Mexico.

Thank You for a very interesting program and how to perform some researches..
Extremely clear, concise, and a wealth of information. Thank you as I will probably improve my search in the 1700s New Spain.
