Relaciones Geográficas of Mexico and Guatemala

Joaquín García Icazbalceta's collection consists of forty-three relaciones geográficas prepared by local officials in New Spain in response to the 1577 questionnaire mandated by King Philip II. Forty-one relaciones pertain to territory in present-day Mexico; two relate to what is now Guatemala. The relaciones contain historical, cultural, and geographical information on New Spain and its peoples during the 16th century and before the Conquest. 26 relaciones are accompanied by one or more maps, known as pinturas.
