Independent Mexico in newspapers, the 19th-century

The University of Texas Libraries’ Nettie Lee Benson Latin American Collection preserved 579 Mexican newspaper titles which date from 1807 to 1900. These newspapers "trace the evolution of the modern newspaper format in Mexico through its often turbulent history: from its status as a viceroyalty of the Spanish Crown to its early experiment in a monarchical form of government to its long struggle to determine a federalist system of government, with concomitant religious, social, and economic changes."
