ARCHIVO DE LA SECRETARIA DE GOBIERNO DEL ESTADO. 
( ARCHIVE OF THE SECRETARIAT OF GOVERNMENT OF THE STATE. ) 
This archive is located in the Palacio de Gobierno. Owing to the absence 
of the governor from the city, the writer enjoyed only limited privileges in 
the archive, and made a less satisfactory examination than was desired. The 
archive is arranged in legajos, there being separately numbered annual series 
after the year 1800. Within the legajos the papers are as a rule filed in 
carpetas bearing labels or cardtulas, which are copied on the papelitos or 
tickets on the outside of the legajos. Only for recent years is there a general 
index or inventory of the documents.
