We seek to create an expansive archive of genealogical records for the Dominican Republic that identify the First Nation Peoples of the Caribbean in official documents.
We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude and sincere thanks to Gerald Alexander Lopez Castellano for his invaluable contribution, expertise, and support in creating this content.
Indigenous Archives of the Dominican Republic
Please visit often as the archive is currently in its infancy. In time, it will grow and it will take the participation from the public to help us increase the number of documents in the Indigenous Archive Project for the Dominican Republic.
