Through it, he was committed to the new political reality, by helping to disseminate from the magazine the reformist ideas of President Roque Sáenz Peña.The study of this case, which is based in an extensive documentary corpus composed of the complete collection of Atlántida and the personal archive of David Peña, seeks to illustrate some of the ways in which historians have been involved throughout Argentine history in the alternatives of political power and in State policies.
