It is a formidable collection of plans and urban cartography of Uruguay that ranges from 1719 (the founding of Montevideo) to 1805 in a large format that allows it to be consulted. It includes urban plans, towns, public buildings and fortifications, the originals of which are in the General Archive of the Indies (Seville), the General Military Archive and the Naval Archive (the latter, in Madrid). A work of fundamental consultation for colonial issues.

 

The different geographic charts were taken -the photographic reproductions- of the originals in the archives of Spain, a task carried out by the management of Dr. Carlos Travieso, who supplemented each document with valuable information.
