Search Term Lexicon and Data Capture Template for Arizona–Sonora Mission Archives (Phase I, 1690–1821)

This dataset contains two open-access resources designed to support archival research on cross-border mission records from the colonial period (1690–1821). (1) Search_Terms_Archive_PhaseI.csv is a bilingual (English–Spanish) lexicon of historical and Islamicate keywords, including Arabic-script and Romanized variants, for locating records related to illegitimacy, concubinato, and crypto-religious identities in Arizona–Sonora archives. (2) Archive_Data_Capture_Template.csv provides a structured framework for documenting metadata from identified archival records, including collection, folio, record type, date, and individuals named. The dataset supports a broader documentation effort examining religious, cultural, and social intersection in the colonial frontier.
