BARRIERA, Darío G. Memory maps: two rural judges listing the inhabitants of their district and his economics activities (Pago de los Arroyos, Santa Fe del Río de la Plata, 1738). Mundo agrar. [online]. 2014, vol.15, n.30. ISSN 1515-5994.

The Christmas eve of 1734, a fire devastated the Royal Alcazar of Madrid, headquarters of the Royal family and of the Court. Felipe V ordered build in its place a Palace. To cover the costs, demanded a contribution to the cities of the monarchy. This text examines one of the consequences of this exigeance: listing the population of the south of Santa Fe, the rural judges made a padrón de pobladores. The author discuses hipothesys about the population of this territory and propose contributions about two others fields: the study of the minor judges and the study of the governamental technics at 18 century.
