Katipunan Documents and studies
DOCUMENTS Foundational documents Supreme Council (Kataastaasang Sangunian) Supreme Assembly (Kataastaasang Kapisanan) Councils and branches (Sangunian at Balangay) Membership documents Andres Bonifacio Emilio Jacinto Miscellaneous STUDIES IMAGES	Welcome This site is devoted to the study of the Katipunan, the patriotic secret society that in 1896 launched the revolution against Spanish rule in the Philippines. Although the late 19th century is the most celebrated and studied period in Philippine history, much of what has been published on the Katipunan is unreliable and the surviving primary sources are as yet largely unexplored. The principal aim here is to bring to light a number of important Katipunan documents that have not been published before, or are not readily accessible. Links will be provided to materials on the Katipunan that may be found elsewhere on the web - most notably on the excellent "Bonifacio Papers" site, which this site will seek to complement, and not in any way to contest. The documents are arranged under eight sub-headings – Foundational documents; Supreme Council (Kataastaasang Sangunian); Supreme Assembly (Kataastaasang Kapisanan); Councils and branches (Sangunian at Balangay); Membership documents; Andres Bonifacio; Emilio Jacinto; and Miscellaneous – and under each sub-heading they are ordered chronologically. The site also includes a number of studies and research notes on the Katipunan, some of which have been posted previously on “Bonifacio Papers”. Comments, corrections, and pointers to other documents that might be posted on the site will be most welcome at kasaysayan@googlemail.com Jim Richardson
