Abstract: Correspondence, printed materials and facsimiles of research materials relating to Mexican military records, social movements,

is an analysis of the officer class of the Mexican Army from the 1860s-1960s based on the personnel files of all officers
of the rank of colonel and above. It contains information on their political careers as well as the various protest movements
over lands and elections that were suppressed by the Army during this period. It includes material on the various competing
armies during the Mexican Revolution and early activity of the government party in the 1920s. A second part of the collection
contains material on the construction of the Mexican state from 1920 to 1945 with materials from the Vicente Toledano archive.
