Photo documentary of ERC/UPF State building project in Latin America

The documents that this open archive offers are the fruit of the research that the members of the ERC/UPF State Building in Latin America Project carried out between 2009 and 2014. When it was launched in December 2008, we committed ourselves to making public the documents that would form the base of our database.

This collection of documents was taken from 35 Latin American, European, and North American archives and libraries (list). The researchers that participated in this project would like to take this opportunity to thank the employees of these institutions for their helpfulness and positive attitude while the documents were being consulted. The moment has therefore arrived to put our sources at the disposal of other researchers and anyone else interested in them. The conditions governing access which is completely free and use of the documents are explained below.
