Francisco Vázquez Goméz papers, 1906-1940.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/243693088

The Francisco Vázquez Goméz collection was donated to the university by his son, Ignacio Vázquez Goméz Norma. It contains approximately 10,000 items spanning the life of Francisco Vázquez Goméz (1860-1933), a key political figure in the Mexican Revolution. About half of the collection pertains to the revolutionary events of 1911. Much of the collection consists of newspaper headlines (both English and Spanish) that follow the political maneuvers of the Anti-Reelectionist party, the group which eventually toppled the Mexican dictator Porfirio Diaz from power. Correspondence between the key players within the revolution and counter-revolution compromise the rest of the collection, which is arranged chronologically. The collection includes many prominent figures in the revolution, such as Francisco I. Madero, Toribio Esquivel Obregón, Juan Sánchez Azcona, Francisco de la Barra, General Pascual Orozco, and Victoriano Huerta. There are documents detailing the Diaz cabinet activities before and during the revolution, which illuminate the role of José Limantour, Diaz' influential economic Minister. There are commentaries on Madero's revolutionary call to arms, the Plan San Luis Potosi, written in prison and released to the world while organizing a junta in San Antonio, Texas. There are also research materials on the Mexican revolution from scholars, including some of Ignacio Vázquez Goméz Norma's papers.
