Research on nineteenth-century caciquismo and the significance of family archives

≈ 2 mins de leitura

Nuno Pousinho

Family archives, either privately owned or preserved by public institutions, are a vital source of material for researchers working on topics such as contemporary social and political relations, elections, the power exerted by certain political agents and their clienteles. This short article aims at presenting the remarkable value of such documentation for these topics, as well as addressing their sporadic use in Portugal — unlike Spain, for instance — when conducting research on political elites. Firstly, a comparison will be drawn between research work carried out in Spain and Portugal based on such sources. Secondly, the difficulties faced will be highlighted, as well as the methodological issues at stake and the types of information available.
