| Sumario: | In Argentina at the beginning of the twentieth century, the superior leadership and officers of the Army promoted projects of change in that Force that some historians characterize as processes of modernization, bureaucratization, and military professionalization. This article aims to analyze a fundamental document for the bureaucratic administration of the armies and the professional careers of the military: the Personal File. This document existed in the armies and militias of the Ancien Régime, but in much of the nineteenth century it ceased to be administered and preserved systematically. Law 4.707 Organic of the Army of 1905 and law 9.675 of Cadres and Promotions of the Army of 1915 fixed its content. In the Personal File, generic models of bureaucratic administration and professional career are expressed, but also individual profiles and trajectories. Therefore, they are an indispensable source for a history of the military and the Armed Forces. |
