El Resguardo de la Aduana durante el proceso revolucionario en Salta (1810-1817)

Abstract

The present article studies the control and collection mechanisms of Treasury deepening to the administrative and political daily life through the analysis of the guards of Salta and Jujuy. We ask who occupied those positions, what were their functions, how and where they were exercised in a context where the political order began to be perceived as part of a monarchy in crisis. Our interest in this problem is centered on the conviction that the organization and operation of the Resguardo and guards during the revolutionary process had a specific dynamic that deserves a specific study. The sources used for this approach consist of the Fondos de Gobierno del Archivo y Biblioteca Históricos de Salta.
