Re: archival poem
I'm reading (very slowly) Hugh Thomas The Slave Trade (New York: Simon &
Schuster, 1997). I quote from the introduction, page 14:
". . . in the Archivo de Indias in Seville (that best and greatest of imperial
archives, to which the American scholar Irene Wright dedicated a sonnet) .
. ."
Can anyone quote this poem?
Regards,
Larry Hibpshman, Archivist 2
Alaska State Archives
I cannot quote the poem, but I have seen it and can provide the
complete citation:
Wright, Irene Aloha. ARCHIVO GENERAL DE INDIAS. Sevilla:
Imprenta Alemana, 1926. [Reprinted from HISPANIC AMERICAN
HISTORICAL REVIEW 6:1-3 (Feb.-Aug. 1926), 5-8.]
A recent biographical sketch of Irene Wright, including a
bibliography of her writings, is:
Lamb, Ursula. "Pioneers of Discovery History in the Spanish
Archives: Alice Gound and Irene Wright: A Memoir." PRIMARY
SOURCES & ORIGINAL WORKS 2 (1993), 477-497. [Also published
as DISCOVERY IN THE ARCHIVES OF SPAIN AND PORTUGAL:
QUINCENTENARY ESSAYS, 1492-1992 (Lawrence J. McCrank, ed.;
New York: Haworth Press, 1993).]
