摘要：

This short essay offers an overview of some crucial aspects of the history of science in Mexico: its pioneers, and their characteristic ways of historical writing on science since the end of the nineteenth century. From this point, we explore later forms of historiography that have shaped the development of history of science as a professionalized and institutionalized field of research in Mexico. The aim of this task is to highlight the variety of ways in which certain actors sought to understand, interpret and communicate the main concerns and developments of Mexican science at different historical moments, which paved the way for the shaping of the history of science as an academic discipline in this country.
