| Resumo: | The General Archive of the Nation (AGN) in Mexico has functioned for more than two-hundred and thirty years, but there are no contemporary studies on its history. Faced with this problem, in this article I study the last ninety years of the AGN's history from the study of the Boletín del Archivo General de la Nación, understood as a discursive form that functions as a record transmitter of knowledge and an indicator of historical change. The main argument of this article is that archival science as a feminized auxiliary science of history has been neglected by the production of historical knowledge under assumptions advanced by sexist premises. In light of this, I propose a methodology through which archival science and the craft of archivists come to the fore in the historical analysis of Mexican archival history. |
