MANGILAO (UOG) â A rare Spanish manuscript about the history of the Mariana Islands will be turned over to the University of Guam by a Spanish delegation visiting Guam for the quincentennial commemoration of Ferdinand Magellanâs circumnavigation of the globe. The head of the delegation, Adm. Santiago Barber y López, will present the manuscript to UOG President Thomas W. Krise this week to be permanently deposited at the Richard Flores Taitano Micronesian Area Research Center at UOG.
It will be viewable by the public later this year in a new exhibit at MARC.
The manuscript comes from an anonymous Spanish donor on behalf of the family of the last Spanish governor of the Mariana Islands, Don Juan Marina. The family is permanently depositing this heirloom at MARC so that it will be accessible for the people of Guam and the Mariana Islands.
