ARCA Dataverse

ARCA (Archive and Resource Center for the Americas) is an initiative to unite datasets and resources for the history of the Americas, especially Spanish America. Beyond the functionality as a mere repository, it aims at integrating datasets by docking them to a shared framework of central resources, systematics and format standards. The quintessential framework database, HGIS de las Indias, is also the seed resource for the initiative.
