The documents published in this collection (often abbreviated DII), 42 volumes (1864-1884), were selected by a team of Spanish historians as representative of the glories of their country's history in the Americas. Drawn exclusively from the Patronato Real group of the AGI, the transcribed versions of the original manuscripts include correspondence between Spanish monarchs and many of the major figures of the early European contact with the Americas. This collection and a successor set, published between 1885 and 1932, were selected for the breadth of their coverage of the early Spanish period in the Caribbean, and North and South America and for the accuracy of the paleography. Since the printed volumes present the documents in a notorious scramble, the digital edition greatly enhances the collection's value for research and instruction by allowing users to search its full text for occurrences of names, places, dates and other terms. Note: Two printed volumes offer very limited access to the collection. Schäfer, Ernst. Indice de la colección de documentos inéditos de Indias. 2v. Madrid: Consejo de Investigaciones Científicas "Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo," 1946-1947."

"Bajo la dirección de los Sres. D. Joaquín F. Pacheco y D. Francisco de Cárdenas, miembros de varias reales academias cientificas, y D. Luis Torres de Mendoza, abogado de los tribunales del reino, con la cooperación de otras personas competentes."

The collection was for the greater part published without any preconceived plan as to arranging the documents either systematically or chronologically. With vol. 36 a chronological arrangement was begun, but was not consistently carried out. The extreme dates of the period covered by the documents in vols. 34-42 are 1251-1796. "Prólogo" to volume 1 of the 2nd series.
A second series was published under title: Colección de documentos inéditos ... de ultramar.
"Indice general provisional, por órden cronológico ... Tomo I-XXXII" (1474-1660): volume 33.
