Abstract: This paper analyzes the evolution of family archive practices in the Canary Islands during the Early Modern Age. Since the colonization of the islands to the implementation of liberalism, most of elite families needed the archive for several purposes in each context: to manage the social reproduction of the family, to support the social promotion, to manage the family property or to create a noble family narrative. Through empirical examples this paper examines some events that involved new models of archival practices by the insular elites.
Este trabalho analisa a evolução das práticas arquivísticas familiares nas Ilhas Canárias durante a Idade Moderna. Desde a colonização das ilhas até à implementação do liberalismo, a maioria das elites familiares utilizou o arquivo para suprir diferentes necessidades consoante o contexto: para gerir a reprodução social da família, para apoiar a promoção social, gerir o património familiar ou criar uma narrativa nobiliárquica familiar. Através de exemplos empíricos, este trabalho foca alguns dos aspetos que abrangem novos modelos de práticas arquivísticas desenvolvidas pelas elites insulares.
