Nominated Documentary Heritage

 
Venezuela
Colombeia: Archive Of General Francisco Miranda
 
This archive contains Francisco de Miranda’s notes, in diary form, prepared during his travels in the Caribbean, the United States, England, western continental Europe, Turkey and Russia.
The Archive also contains Miranda’s correspondence with key personalities of the day in each of the places he visited. When we consider who these people were (Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton, Pitt, Lord Wellington, Petion, Brissot and Fouché to name but a few), we may appreciate the transcendent importance of this Archive as a record of an age.
