Abstract

In recent years there is a debate about the values of industrial heritage and the definition of temporality that would allow identifying some productive unit with this distinction. In this context, in the State of Morelos there are still remains of the 112 farms that after the Mexican Revolution were given to indigenous peoples and that so far have not been classified as industrial heritage. In this sense, a historiographical analysis will be conducted to provide evidence of the existence of the values described in the “Letter of Nizhny Tagil on industrial heritage”: first farms testify to activities that have profound historical consequences; and second, they have a social value that provides an important sense of identity. In addition to the most defended and discussed by specialists in industrial heritage values, which are the aesthetic values of its architecture and / or technological or scientific values in the history of production. Finally, using the same historical sources sought to adjust the definition of temporality farms in industrial heritage. Although these do not belong to the “historic main interest” period extending from the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the second half of the eighteenth century to the present.
