Among the large collection of primary source manuscript collections at the Biblioteca Nacional de España in Madrid are several bound collections that have more than a few documents that relate to Spanish Florida. Those that have been digitized and are online at the Biblioteca Digital Hispánica are linked directly below for easy access. I have also added longer individual manuscripts that are also available digitally.
