Sumario:This paper describes the Chubut Police Records Fund (CPRF), contextualizing the production of documents that compose it, and characterizing the identification technologies that were used to classify the population and control it in accordance with national legislation and international treaties signed by Argentina. The value of the Fund is highlighted, considering that the records offer summary information on thousands of inhabitants of Chubut with extreme documentation dates since the late 19th century. Finally, it is argued that this repository has potential for different lines of research, considering the typological diversity and its significative size.
