The author is grateful to the Doherty Charitable Foundation Inc., the former Office of Education of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, the Joint Committee on Latin American Studies of the American Council of Learned Societies and the Social Science Research Council, the Archivo Histórico del Guayas, and the Armada del Ecuador for having financed in large part his research in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia between 1967-1969, in 1971, and between 1974-1978. He is also grateful to the directors, archivists, manuscript curators and other personnel of the numerous repositories in which he has worked. And he is in debt to Dra. Vicenta Cortés Alonso, Inspectora General de Archivos of Spain—to whom this guide is dedicated—and to Dr. Juan Freile Granizo, Director of the Archivo y Biblioteca Jacinto Jijón y Caamaño of the Banco Central del Ecuador, for having introduced him to hispanic archival principles and practices.

N.B. Estrada Ycaza’s description, largely based on data furnished by Hamerly, was prepared in 1975. At that time we had just begun to piece together the history of archives in Guayaquil, and I had not yet extended research to several of the repositories herewithin described.

4 The District of Guayaquil was a dependency of the Viceroyalty of Peru until 1717, between 1720–1739, and again between 1804–1820. Between 1717–1720, and 1739–1803, it was a dependency of the Viceroyalty of New Granada. There are at least 35 legajos and 23 libros of duplicate fiscal records of Guayaquil in the Archivo General de la Nación in Lima. On the holdings of the National Archives of Colombia see Alonso, Vicenta Cortés, “La Sección de la Colonia del Archivo Nacional de Colombia,” Studium (Bogotá), 6 (1959): 183–218,Google Scholar reprinted in her Archivos de España y América (Madrid: Editorial de la Universidad Complutense, 1979), 196–236. The majority of AGI duplicates of fiscal records of Guayaquil date from its upgrading to a governorship ( Herrera, Antonia Heredia, “Organización y descriptión de los fondos de la Audiencia de Quito del Archivo General de Indias,” Historiografia y Bibliografia Americanistas 21 (1977), 139–65,Google Scholar 147–48), but the AGI also has some cuentas from the corregimiento period [e.g., Contaduría, leg. 1576 (1624–1749) and leg. 1577 (1757–1760)].

8 The then Oficina de Anotaciones e Inscripciones took over the functions of the suppressed Juzgado de Comercio in 1910. From the nature of the transferred records, it would seem that the Juzgado de Comercio was the Consulado de Comercio in a different guise.
