IBERO-AMERICAN MIGRATORY
MOVEMENTS

The Ibero-american Migratory Movements portal is a project co-ordinated by the Subdirección General de los Archivos Estatales del Ministerio de Cultura (Office of National Archives of the Spanish Ministry of Culture) to promote and facilitate access to documents on Spanish emigration to Ibero-america during the Modern Age. It offers all users free access to the digitised documents and images comprising this collection.

This new database is the result of the close collaboration between various Spanish and Ibero-american archives and shall progressively expand as more migratory documentation from both sides of the Atlantic are identified and digitised.

The first documentary series of the Portal are Records from the Servicio Exterior de España (Spanish Foreign Service) which are stored in the Archivo General de la Administración de España (General Archive of the Spanish Administration), the Registro de inmigrantes españoles en México (Register of Spanish immigrants in Mexico), conserved in the Archivo General de la Nación de México (General Archive of the Nation of Mexico), and the Solicitudes de permisos de residencia en la República Dominicana (Applications for residency permits in the Dominican Republic), kept in the Archivo General de la Nación de la República Dominicana (General Archive of the Nation of the Dominican Republic). Later, the Registro de entrada de pasajeros por el Puerto de La Habana (Record of incoming passengers to the Port of La Habana), which is stored in the Archivo Nacional de la República de Cuba (National Archive of the Republic of Cuba), shall be incorporated.
