Sumario:This paper describes my experience with some Sections of the Archive of the Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Worship in an economic history research. This is an explanation about why and how I started to work with diplomatic documentation as a complement to trade statistics for the study of exports between the last decade of the 19th century and the end of the First World War. Likewise, it is, on the one hand, an example of the impact that the approach of this kind of sources has had on the specific results of my project and, on the other, a reflection on the possibilities that the use of non-traditional sources has on economic history researches.
