Abstract

Based on previous studies of the Reforms of the 18th century and to the proyectismo of this era, this article deals with one such concrete project undertaken by the first intendant of Huancavelica, with the aim of using convicts in that mine. The intendants responsible for the program of reforms began local projects because of the regional diversity. One example is the epigonal Project of Fernando Marquez de la Plata. Considering this plan within a wider context will allow us to understand its logic, as well as the changes that it experienced over time
