El objetivo del texto es mostrar las distintas fuentes disponibles para el estudio y análisis del impacto de las epidemias, enfatizando en el caso mexicano. Las enfermedades infecciosas han acompañado al hombre desde tiempos remotos. Empero, el carácter epidémico de este tipo de padecimientos se asocia a factores sociales y económicos, como el surgimiento de las grandes ciudades, el desarrollo industrial, la expansión del comercio, las emigraciones, factores que marcan el inicio de la globalización y aparición de pandemias. A partir de la conquista y llegada de los españoles a América aparecieron nuevas enfermedades, algunas de ellas devastadoras, que provocaron un gran descenso en la población. Ante este contexto general, nos interesa mostrar diferentes acercamientos metodológicos y fuentes que desde la historia y otras disciplinas científicas (biólogos, médicos, historiadores de la medicina) se han empleado para el análisis de las epidemias y pandemias que afectaron al México colonial e independiente.  Centro de Estudios Históricos “Prof. Carlos S.
