Beyond the amazing work with slavery and afrodescendientes heritage on the city, they have recovered amazing stories. That is the case of the statue of Santo Antonio which was made soldier, and made it's own cursus hoborum along the eighteenth century.

But what is amazing is how this triggered a renew way to approach to their local history. Their museography is very critical with classical narratives, and well based on historical reseach. Their archeological methods shows the impact of the Earthquake of 1755.

It has been amazing to discover the municipal museum of Lagos (Portugal), and more specificall, their museum of slavery. They were pioneer in discussing it at a national level, and still their musseography is compelling

Nevertheless, Mississippi waterscapes were transformed and reshaped by the drafts, manuscripts and political decisions of Spanish governors, engineers, and mapmakers, which I will analyse on my presentation.

These are some tentative conclusions on my postdoc research on Spanish projects of colonising the Mississippi waterscape. I will argue that Sp colonisation of Louisiana was deeply affected by the agency of the Mississippi River, and the transcultural role of water in early revolutionary America.
