The mid to late 19th century in Chile was a fertile and active period in the adoption of more liberal ideals a spate of educational and social reform and the formation of numerous mutual aid organisations among labor and social 'clubs' and societies. Increased industrialization and a hunger for large scale modernization created a need for greater organization and mobilization among labor and social communities leading to an upsurge in unionisation of trades and crafts that previously would have worked more among 'guild' lines and the building of social co-operative organizations. Institutional holdings are sparse for specific issues and dates but there are some holdings for surrounding years available. Imprenta Nacional unknown
