[QUOTE="coffeyce, post: 201455, member: 3745"]I love old documents no matter what country basedon the same things. I also love the old seals and water marks. People really made things of beauty and pride back then. Now i do have a few documents from the what was left of the spanish colonies of Florida Louisiana ect. Not many but a few. Most of mine cover Philipeans, Americas and the Indies. I have about 30 documents if the 150 that I would consider significant. Things such as birth marriages and deaths of royalty, sainthood decrees, inquisition documents, creation/abolishment of the constitution, abolishment of slavery, creation of holidays, striping away a kings right of ascencion and changing of government during war and religious changes. I love holding something that changed a nation and a religion as most cover catholic religion. Now keep in mind there were about 20-40 originals made depending on thenumber of colonies at the time and who else was needed on the distributionlist ie. The pope or government offices. I probably spent 2-5 hours on each document doing research and other processing then having some professionally translated.[/QUOTE]
