Most of what is known about the Roanoke voyages and settlements was published by Richard Hakluyt in the sixteenth century. He collected journals, ship's logs and letters (many from participants in these and other voyages) and printed them in The Principal Navigations, Voyages, Traffiques & Discoveries of the English Nation Made by Sea or Over-land to the Remote and Farthest Distant Quarters of the Earth at any time within the compasse of these 1600 years. His work contains, among many other documents, Arthur Barlowe's report of the 1584 reconnaissance voyage to Roanoke Island, several of Governor Ralph Lane's reports and letters associated with the 1585-86 military settlement, Governor John White's journal of the 1587 voyage and the planning of his colony on Roanoke, and White's letter and report of his 1590 search for the colony.
