Abstract: Correspondence, printed materials and facsimiles of research materials relating to Mexican military records, social movements,
elections and other aspects of Mexican political life. Materials on the Mexican state, the Mexican Army and various protest
movements cover the period from the mid-nineteenth century to the end of the twentieth century. A major part of the collection
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.
A final part of the collection consists of materials on Solidaridad (Pronasol) from 1968-2000, its programs and policies along

An accession inventory is a basic description of an archival collection (or a part thereof) for which a detailed finding aid
has yet to be created. Additionally, no attempt at intellectual arrangement has been made. The depth of description varies
depending on the format of the materials and the amount of pre-existing description when the materials were acquired. An accession
inventory might also be labeled as such if it is a fully digital collection, in which the digital files have yet to be processed.
