| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Throughout this year, I remained dedicated to executing the research outlined in my plans. The culmination of this effort was the public presentation of our findings at three distinct conferences. Simultaneously, I devoted time to crafting two scholarly articles, slated for imminent publication. Additionally, I am in the final stages of completing a book, with aspirations for its release by the conclusion of the upcoming year.

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
In the Fiscal Year of 2024, my research agenda centers on a thorough exploration of the archival holdings within the Historical Archives located in Mexico City. Specifically, my attention will be directed towards the examination of records housed within the Archivo General de la Nacion, Archivo General de las Notarías, and Archivo Historico del Ayuntamiento de Mexico. During this period, my primary objective is to scrutinize the marriage, baptism, and death registrations pertaining to Asian and Japanese emigrants, particularly within the context of the early modern period. Furthermore, in conjunction with my archival investigations, I am committed to the preparation of scholarly publications. This will include the development of a comprehensive book, synthesizing the findings derived from the archival materials analyzed.
