VI. METHODS EMPLOYED IN THE PREPARATION OF THE CALENDAR The Calendar contains descriptions of 2,441 documents conserved in different series of the Propaganda Fide archives. 1 In all, 1,932 archival volumes were examined. 2 Entries summarize the content of all the documents with respect to facts and individuals in French and British North America between 1622 and 1799. We will now discuss the geographical and chronological scope of the Calendar. As to geography, since there is no practical distinction in North America between French and British territories until the second half of the eighteenth century, both are accounted for. This editor has then included the whole of what is now Canada, the eastern part of what is now the United States, particularly Louisiana, the area then called Ohio and Mississippi, and the great American West, at that period almost exclusively in the hands of the French. Conversely, documents dealing with the area of the United States that from 1622 to 1799 was under Spanish rule are omitted, since they were treated by the Holy See as the northernmost portion of South and Central (Le., Spanish) America. Florida as such was then excluded from the Calendar. 3 Louisiana was included because, for the whole of the period in question, it presented something of a political anomaly. Chronologically speaking, 1622 is the only logical starting point, since it was the year in which Propaganda was established. On the other hand, 1799 represents quite simply the end of the eighteenth century, and the beginning of another era for the Catholic church in Europe, which originated from the disruption of the Napoleonic period. 4 All documents of interest to North America that pre-date 1622 were calendared; they were very few.s Conversely, a large number of documents were found that are dated after 1800. With very few exceptions,6 they were not inventoried and were left for a new calendar devoted to the period 1800 and after. When the same archival volume was found to contain documents dated 1799 and before, or 1800 and after, only the former were calendared. This editor has tried to give the widest possible scope to his work, and to bear in mind the many facets of the research and the variety of uses to which it might be put. He has therefore not restricted himself only to those documents mentioning North America (however briefly) or having a direct bearing on the history of North America, but has also taken into consideration documents that do not refer specifically to America. His view encompasses those that may have in some way influenced the American policy of Propaganda (for example, the many documents regarding the Capuchins in the first half of the seventeenth century), which indicate the depth of knowledge of American affairs on the part of Propaganda officials (for example, the different subdivisions of the world among the various cardinals of Propaganda, where North America was notably absent), and that demonstrate the possibility of errors and mistaken geographical attributions (for example, the confusion between America and Africa, the West Indies and the East Indies, Armenia and America, Newfoundland and the Holy Land).' Obviously there can be no objective limit to research, unless we undertake an analysis of the entire body of Propaganda's documentation. For example, the problems arising between the Jesuits and Propaganda in China had, in their tum, a decided influence upon the relations between the Jesuits and Propaganda in North America. Nothing is, ultimately, beyond the scope of this enquiry. As no such objective criterion can exist, and such an extension is clearly impracticable, the final choice and responsibility must lie with the editor. Any error should, however, be on the side of excess, and any omission must be put down to the mistakes to which any archival research is open. 69
