	'''Archivo General de Simancas''', Valladolid, Spain, is the oldest national archives in Europe. In 1790, all of the sections relating entirely and specifically to the administration of the colonies were sent to Seville to create the ''Archivo General de Indias''. There remain, however, many records relating to the Americas that were integrated in collections that covered all of the functions of Spanish government.14 Notable are those for ''Títulos de Indias'',15 describing appointments to numerous government positions in what is now the United States, and ''Hojas de Sevicio Militar en América'', which includes military officers’ personnel sheets from posts stretching from Saint Augustine, Florida, to San Francisco, California.16		'''Archivo General de Simancas''', Valladolid, Spain, is the oldest national archives in Europe.
