Abstract

In May 2019, the database of the Monsignor Samuel Ruiz García Fund, which protects the Diocesan Historical Archives of San Cristóbal de Las Casas, was completed. Tatik Samuel, as the indigenous peoples called him, stood out for being a defender of the rights of the indigenous peoples of Mexico and Latin America. The purpose of this article is to expose to the public the existence of this database, as well as some of the topics that we can find in this documentary reservoir that may be useful for those who are interested in knowing and reconstructing the history of Chiapas and even Latin America during the second half of the 20th century.
