| Sumario: | The paper analyzes the differences between the quality of the information and the memoirs sent to the Crown by Santa Fe’s Audiencia (Bogotá), and those sent by the cabildos of the mining towns subject to said Audiencia. We study the contrast between the richness of the information of local character sent by the cabildos and the broader perspectives of the letters sent by the Audiencia. Moreover, it inspects how these letters had a close connection between the ideas that service to the Crown seemed inseparable from violence against native communities that were the basis of gold production. It also analyzes how, as mining production declined in the 17th century, so did the number of letters sent to the Court by cabildos that fell into ruin as a result of the decline in gold mining. |
