ALMIRON, Adrián A.. Sources for the history of public lands in the Territory of Chaco. Folia [online]. 2014, n.22, pp.285-292. ISSN 0325-8238.

The Instituto de Colonización of the Chaco province preserves numerous files that allow us to know the history of the land in the Chaco since the formation of the Territory until the present. Among these documents, the surveying and inspections should be highlighted. They are valuable for reconstructing the past because they constitute a detailed record of the public land settlements, and of the colonies and villages creation. This paper aims to describe the archive of the Instituto de Colonización with special focus on its sections. The place where the files are stored is also described. Finally, the contributions of such sources to the historical study of the public land are mentioned.

Keywords : Institute of colonization; Chaco; lands.
