The 126 (plus 1 duplicate) unnumbered, chronologically out-of-order documents are very roughly grouped according to type, size, or originating agency. They include anonymous manifestos, proclamations from the president and other public authorities (national and Federal District, ca. 25; Puebla State, ca. 45; Puebla City, 9), elector lists (6), and public accounts (incl. monthly ones of 1830-31). Grouped together at end are 22 church documents, chiefly Puebla bishops' pastoral broadsides to be posted in churches, beginning with one issued in 1776.
Probably assembled at the library of the Universidad Catolica in Puebla (stamp on front endleaf). On spine: Inconstancia del corazon. 55.
Printed for the most part in Puebla (often Imprenta del Gobierno or equivalent); ca. 30 are imprinted Mexico City or dated there, 1817-1834; one (71st in the present arrangement) is dated 25 Oct. 1814 in Apatzingán.
Mostly broadsides; a few of the documents are single-sheet handbills printed on both sides; one decree has 3 pages.
Size of the documents varies from 20 to 85 cm. in height. Those oversize are folded.
