Institutional and methodological matrices of the Rioplatense historiography of the nineteenth century. Brazil's influence

There is some consensus among experts to emphasize the importance of the European models in the configuration of the "Historiographical space of Rio de la Plata" in the nineteenth century. However, other contributions have been overlooked, particularly Brazil (" Historical and Geographical Institute of Brazil").
