Major contributions

• 1941 – The Documments of Our Lady of Zapopan. Ricardo Lancaster-Jones purportedly located the original documents validating the authenticity of the image of the Virgin of Zapopan. The documents date from the 16th to the 18th centuries.

They were kept away for safe keeping during Mexico's 19th and 20th century political upheavals by Friar Luis de Palacio y Basave (1868–1941).

In 1941, the friar's heirs asked Lancaster-Jones y Verea to make an appraisal of the friar's library. Lancaster-Jones found those important documents and purchased them from Friar Palacio's heirs; later on, Lancaster-Jones gave those documents, as a gift, to Dr Jose Garibi y Rivera who in those days was Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Guadalajara. Lancaster-Jones y Verea was inspired by those documents to write his work, Tríptico Mariano, first published in 1948.

• 1947 – Francisco Márquez's Baptismal Certificate. The discovery of Francisco Márquez's Baptismal Certificate in Guadalajara, Jalisco. He was one of the Niños Heroes who died at the Battle of Chapultepec. He was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, and that the real date of his birth was 8 October 1834 and he was

baptized nine days later, on 18 October, as Francisco de Borja Jesús Benito. His godparents were Gerónimo Paniagua y María Prudencia Falcón. Through a Confirmation Certificate (also found by Lancaster-Jones), it can be proved that Márquez moved to Mexico City. His widowed mother remarried, to Francisco Ortiz, a cavalry captain, by the time Márquez joined the Heroico Colegio Militar on 14 January 1847. Márquez has been listed among the Illustrious People of the State of Jalisco at its official webpage.

• 1949 – Domingo Lazaro de Arregui's papers of intestate.

Two articles published in the newspaper El Informador (23 October 1949 and 5 March 1950) helped to form an accurate biography of de Arregui, who wrote the earliest essay about the history of Nueva Galicia (Descripción de la Nueva Galicia, 1621), which helped French historian François Chevalier to rewrite de Arregui's biography in 1980 (as Descripción de la Nueva Galicia, which was first published in Seville, Spain, 1946).

• 1953 – Contributions with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. According to Genealogical Journal, Ricardo Lancaster-Jones y Verea had a vital part by contributing with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Academia Mexicana de Genealogía y Heráldica, during the microfilming process of the complete and well preserved Archdiocese of Guadalajara's parochial records (1953–71). A copy of these microfilms are located in the Archivo General de la Nación (in Mexico City) and are available for public consultation under the guidelines and regulations of the aftermentioned institution.

• 1958 – Francisco Primo de Verdad y Ramos' Baptismal Certificate. The discovery of Francisco Primo de Verdad y Ramos' Baptismal Certificate in the hacienda of Ciénega del Rincón, located in the actual Municipality of Ojuelos de Jalisco in the State of Jalisco (Mexico). Through this, the correct birthplace of Verdad y Ramos was ascertained.

• 1974 – Haciendas de Jalisco. His important archive of documents related to the rural history of the former Kingdom of Nueva Galicia (New Galicia) in the Viceroyalty of New Spain is reflected in his most well-known book, Haciendas de Jalisco y Aledaños (1506–1821), which was published in 1974 being the first publication in its kind in Western Mexico, and the most complete essay about the haciendas of Jalisco and their development since the early 16th century until Mexico's Independence (1821).

Ricardo Lancaster-Jones had more than 35,000 volumes in his library, collected over the course of his life. Nowadays, those volumes are distributed among the libraries of El Colegio de Jalisco, the University of Texas and the University of New Mexico, as well as in private collections in Mexico and abroad.

His Ex Libris (bookplate) was designed by Carlos Stahl (1892–1984) and catalogued in 1970 by José Miguel Quintana (1908–1987) in Libros Mexicanos
