    Wow. A wealth of information!! Having lived in Guadalajara, Jalisco from 1996-2001, I helped organize a 2 day Symposium on Records where experts from different states came and presented papers, joined in panel discussions, toured local repositories, etc. It included experts from the U.S. as well, with the Library at University of California, Berkeley’s Collection highlighted. INEGHI was there with a display. All the experts and attendees begged them to make the census and other data available digitally.

Mexican Land Reform and the Ejido: History and Records
Between 1916 and 1945 the Mexican government distributed 74 million acres of land to Mexican citizens - many of whom had been dispossessed of the right to that land in preceding generations. In this session, we will review the laws, administrative processes and records related to the distribution of that land, known as the ejido. We will also review strategies for requesting the original records. Intended for those with experience in Mexican and/or Hispanic genealogy, this session can help you take your research to the next level.

Its origins date back to the late eighteenth century when a royal decree ordered the creation of an archive to preserve documentation from the Viceroyalty. Today, the documents at AGN are a genealogical treasure waiting to be discovered by a wider audience of researchers.
