It argues that analyses based on infrastructures, technologies and business history need to integrate state “postal diplomacies” in the picture. Disseminated along many years, those practices between diplomacy and technical expertise reveal structural features of the system, including the place of Argentina in the global information network, and long-lasting policies to subsidize access to international contents. Finally, the essay assesses the role of international relations archival repositories in a social and cultural history of the circulation of printed goods. A partir del acceso a un corpus de fuentes diplomáticas nacidas de negociaciones postales y telegráficas entre los siglos XIX y XX, este trabajo reflexiona sobre lo que dichos documentos aportan a la historia del gran ciclo de expansión informativa de ese período. Ante la constatación del papel fundamental del Estado en este proceso, argumenta que los análisis disponibles basados en la historia de infraestructuras, tecnologías y empresas, necesitan integrar a las “diplomacias postales” en el cuadro. Diseminadas a lo largo de períodos extensos, esas prácticas dan cuenta de rasgos estructurales del sistema, incluyendo la colocación de la Argentina en la red informativa global y las políticas de subsidio del acceso a contenidos internacionales. Por último, el trabajo pondera el lugar de estos archivos en una historia social y cultural de la circulación de impresos. Centro de Estudios Históricos “Prof. Carlos S. A.
