A digital archive that rescues and disseminates the biographies of those who brought European culture to what is now the United States.
This initiative, under the name of La Florida, rescues documents from both sides of the Atlantic about the lives of those first European settlers. It is also intended to be used in schools as teaching material to disseminate the common past of the USA and Spain, the little-known history of the men and women who brought European culture to North America.
