Chronological, 1522-1915
- Abstract Or Scope
-
The chronological series consists of original documents and copies of texts that cover Mexican history from the early years of the Spanish conquest to the Mexican Revolution of the early twentieth century. The series contains ordinances, royal decrees, legal proceedings, reports, speeches and discourses, correspondence, notarial acts, verse, maps, appointments, eulogies, accounts of events, censuses, account books, treasury records, schedules of fees, indices, petitions, church documents and ecclesiastical records, and newspaper articles. The series is particularly strong for the study of the late colonial period, war of independence era, and early years of the Mexican republic. The subsequent history of Mexico is not as well documented. Only a limited number of texts treat the Porfiriato, and the Mexican Revolution.
