La segunda generación de leyes archivísticas en México

In a previous article, the States of the Mexican Republic that designed what we call as the first generation of archival laws of this country because they were created before the publication of the Federal Law of Transparency and Access to Public Government Information, were: Nayarit (1957), Puebla (1985), State of Mexico (1986), Yucatán (1986), Tabasco (1987), Zacatecas (1987), Guerrero (1988), Veracruz (1990), Aguascalientes (1992), Chiapas ( 1993), Baja California Sur (1994), Sonora (1996), Jalisco (1998) and Quintana Roo (2001), which represented only 44% of the total number of states in having a law of this nature. In contrast to the above, it was the States of Tlaxcala, Michoacán, Coahuila, Colima, Guanajuato, Hidalgo, San Luis Potosi, Mexico City (now Mexico City), Oaxaca, Querétaro and Morelos that would suddenly create in recent years what we would call the second generation of archival laws, which would be inserted within the framework of current public policies related to accountability, transparency and access to information. Therefore, the objective of this investigation is to make a tour of these laws in order to observe their impact in the field of the archives of this country.
