The Philippine Islands, 1493–1898, often colloquially referred to as Blair and Robertson after its two authors, was a 55-volume series of Philippine historical documents, translated by Emma Helen Blair and James Alexander Robertson.[1]
Most of the documents in the collection had not previously been translated into English, so when Spanish ceased to be one of the Philippines' Lingua Franca after the American Colonial period, it became one of the most important references for students of the history and historiography of the Philippines.
