Summary:	Providing vital statistics about the slave population of Puerto Rico in 1872, the records in this collection come from the Central Register of Slaves, which was established in conjunction with the 1873 passage of Moret's Law, an edict that granted freedom to certain segments of the slave population and required that a census of all slaves by taken. Gathered in San Juan and over twenty other municipalities, the records include the following for each slave: name, country of origin, present residence, names of parents, sex, marital status, trade, age, physical description, master's name.
