Mariano Paredes y Arrillaga collection, 1825-1876 (bulk 1840-1849).

The collection documents political and historical developments in 19th-century Mexico, primarily the 1840s. Paredes' association with these events is reflected in correspondence dating from 1825 to 1849. Correspondents include Antonio López de Santa Anna, Mariano Arista, José Joaquín de Herrera, Luis Parres, José María Tornel, and family members Josefa Cortés de Paredes, Manuel and José María Cortés, and Agustín Paredes y Arrillaga. Also present in the collection are a number of anonymous letters; many appear to be copies of letters by Paredes, while others are signed with pseudonyms. Among the correspondence are occasional financial and legal documents, registers of correspondence, literary productions, notes, and lists. Materials dating from after Paredes' death until 1867 relate to various topics including Mexico's response to the European intervention and the personal affairs of individuals whose relationship to Paredes is undetermined. Undated items include a list of names appearing in the collection and letters addressed to Paredes as president of Mexico, presumably written in 1846.
