Abstract

This paper addresses the evolution of archives in the Mexican context under four axes of analysis, archive institutions, legislation, professional training, and professional associations. A transverse and parallel chronological review of the facts is performed within this framework, which has marked the development of the discipline and shows the emerging presence of the national archives through the actions to be undertaken and made visible to the discipline. The successive, natural and unstructured during the beginning to the middle of the past century, have been the basis for building the scaffolding that through the education offered by universities on the one hand and,to the other hand the self-development of the profession through the integration of Information Technology and Communication and its regulation through a legal framework have been developing National Archives which has resulted in an embryonic professional association more or less organized.
