The Spanish insertion in the New World during the sixteenth century, at a given time West Indies, led to the construction of politicall y mixed societies, but primarily based on common cultural denominators diffused throughout the peninsular space through its conquerors and institutions. From this perspective, we can see the emergence of Viceroyalties as copies, duplicates or political entities that seek to encompass and delimit new spaces, but with reference to ancient practices and perceptios. In a process of conquest of beings, things and spaces, the need for communication and sending information to a political centrality was presented as something necessary and inherent to the dynamics of displacement and population fixation, to some extent, coordinated, or at least driven forward by the Spanish Crown. The volume of written documents, both in terms of dispersed documentation, this is, produced for several reasons, and the chronicles of India documentary exponents responsible for condensing historical experiences about actions and locals -, which oscillated between writers / chroniclers voluntary action and the institutional request of the Crown, indicates the need and possibility of analyzing, as well as approaching, different types of writings in the Spanish Indies in a perspective of historical reflection. In this panorama it is possible to observe a management sphere, political centrality responsible for requesting, capturing and processing information according to its need and capacity, and historical agents throughout the New World, historically and culturally linked to this centrality, put in charge of producing information in order to feed the center, or, how we conceive, writers who give vent to their needs and the spaces where they live in the Indies. We understand the Crown and its agents spread across the Atlantic share a set of historical experiences and the same cultural conventionality / environment, and we seek to discuss the approach between different writings belonging to the Spanish West Indies through a concept enunciated by Francisco Esteve-Barba in 1960, called Indian Historiography, to which we intend to insert higher theoretical density. For this exercise we will observe, like a privileged space, the relationship between the Recopilación Historial/Historia de Santa Marta y Nuevo de Granada, chronicle written in the sixteenth century by the friar priest Pedro de Aguado, Provincial of the Franciscan Order, to the viceroyalty of Nova Granada and papers- produced by different religious: Dominicans, Augustinians, Carmelites andsecular clergy which compose the Fund de Cartas y Expedientes de Personas Eclesiásticas da Audiencia de Santa Fe,, belonging to the Archivo General de Indias, highlighting the topic alignment presented by sources and the way they are institutionally linked to the Crown, depending on the role of political centrality played by it.
