Aims and objectives
This project aims to explore the archives of three convents that housed cloistered nuns in the city of Lima under Spanish rule (17th to the early 19th centuries). These archives hold documents that inform about not only elite women that lived in these convents, but also of people from other social and ethnic backgrounds that took part of the life of these institutions.
Outcomes
The records copied by this project have been catalogued as:
- EAP1299/1 Monasterio Santa Rosa de Santa María (1600-1999)
- EAP1299/2 Monasterio Jesus, María y José (Clarisas Capuchinas) (1600-1899)
Due to the cyber-attack on the British Library in October 2023, the archives and manuscripts database is currently inaccessible and we are unable to provide links to the catalogue records for this project.
