COLLADO, Adriana; BERTUZZI, María Laura  e  DEL BARCO, María Elena. The Historical Atlas of Cities: Instruments for the Interpretation of Urban Processes. Santa Fe (Argentina), 1880-1945. Apuntes [online]. 2013, vol.26, n.1, pp.170-185. ISSN 1657-9763.

This article aims to summarize the theoretical and methodological grounds of the construction of an urban historical atlas of Santa Fe, a capital city of a province in Argentina. The Atlas is based in a large and diverse collection of documents which is the product of a long research work. It has been designed as a tool that allows systematizing, representing and interpreting different stages in the formation of the city during its modernization process (18801945). The paper offers a critical reading on the cartographic documents in order to draw a new set of maps to depict the urban growth sequence throughout successive cuts in the time line. It also has the intention of constructing a homogeneous cartographic database and mapping the various indicators of the level of development of the city for each historical moment.

Palavras-chave : Documentary heritage; urban history; representations; Architecture-History-Atlas; urban-Santa Fe (Argentina); documentary collections.
