Cualquier información sobre el tema es bien recibida. I´m searching information about Dominique missions in Baja California. Are there etnohistorical documents about the spatial distribution of the convent in this area specially or for the whole order? Any information about this topic is welcome. Thank you. SASIG Ed.

"Las Misiones en Baja California"You can also try: California Mission Studies Association Baja California Collection The Missions of Northwestern New Spain, 1687-1840 Book Review Date: Tue, 4 Aug 1998 16:32:24 From: Jim Griffith jgriffit@bird.library.arizona.edu Re: Informacion Sobre Las Misiones Dominicas de Baja California? Three books I have found useful for an overview of all the missions of Baja Cal;ifornia are: Robertson, Tomas, _Baja California and its Missions_, La Siesta Press (Box 406, Glendale, CA 91209) 1978 Mathes, Dr. W. Michael, _Las Misiones de Baja California /The Missions of Baja California, 1683-1849, La Paz, BCS: Editorial Aristos, S.A. de C.V. (Heroes de la Independencia 945 Norte), 1977 Francez, Padre James Donald, _The Lost Treasures of Baja California/Los Tesoros Perdidos de la Baja California, 1697-1997_. Black Forrest Press, Box 521 , Chula Vista, CA 91910 tel. 619-656-8048), 1996. All three deal with the distribution and the remains of Dominican missions and conventos in the Baja California (as well as with Franciscan and Jesuit establishments). I'm sure none of these is very easy to find, but that shouldn't amaze anyone. Hope this helps, Jim Griffith
