Claudia Roxana Domínguez García head of the UANL Center for Documentation and Historical Archive noted that the colloquium will provide an update on the data and positions that are known about this transcendental event for Mexico, especially for Nuevo León.

“In Monterrey we have emblematic sites. Remains of these battles have been found around Paseo Santa Lucia and the Clínica de Ginecología, that’s why this subject is of interest since these events are part of our history,” added Domínguez García.

Domínguez noted that institutional collaboration has been fostered through this kind of academic activity. “Reflexiones historiográficas 175 años después” is just the beginning of academic research activities of the UANL Center for Documentation and Historical Archive
