Kungumlingo welensi, othatha izithombe, okwenza kube nokwenzeka namhlanje, ngasekupheleni kwekhulu lamashumi amabili, ukuba nezinqolobane zezithombe ezinenani lazo elisezingeni eliphikisayo lobuciko lezithombe nakulwazi lomlando abalunikezayo njengobufakazi ifilimu eliyi-documentary.
Abathwebuli bezithombe, abakwazi ukubona ngaphesheya kombono ojwayelekile, ababheka indawo yesehlakalo kanye nenkulumo yempilo yansuku zonke, banikela ngobuhlakani babo ukuze namuhla kutholakale, naphezu kwesikhathi esidlulile, izithombe ezithwetshuliwe ukushicilelwa kwezikhathi ezibucayi izwe lethu elidlule kuzo iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-150.
Ngenxa yenani lezithombe ezigcinwe emitatsheni yezithombe yeNational Institute of Anthropology and History, ukwehluka kwezifundo namasu ahlukene asetshenziselwe ukuphrinta, singazibheka njengeziphakathi kwezimo ezibaluleke kakhulu ezweni lethu. Ngenxa yomsebenzi nentando yabantu abaningi, ukuzinikela okuhle nokucophelela kwabaqoqi kanye nombono walabo abasungule imitapo yolwazi yezithombe, namuhla kugcinwe imibhalo yokuqala engaphezu kwesigidi ezinqolobaneni eziqashwe yi-INAH, phakathi kwazo okugqamile izimali zikaCasasola, uBrehme, uGuerra, uSemo, uModotti, uTeixidor, uKahlo, uCruces noCampa, uNacho López, uRomualdo García noGarcía Payón, phakathi kwabanye.

Ukongiwa kanye nokufakwa kuhlu kwezinkundla zokugcina umlando kube ngumsebenzi obaluleke kakhulu, umsebenzi lapho ukuzibophezela kochwepheshe kanye nabasebenzi bomtapo wezithombe wasePachuca kugqame khona, oholwa ngumqondisi wawo u-Eleazar López Zamora, okuvumele inqubekela phambili ebonakalayo kulokho kusho ukongiwa, ucwaningo nokusatshalaliswa kwezimali ezithwebula izithombe.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, umtapo wezithombe we- "Romualdo García", ose-Alhóndiga de Granaditas edolobheni laseGuanajuato, kanye nomtapo wezithombe we- "José García Payón" wesikhungo se-INAH eVeracruz, sezivele zidale imibandela yokubhaliswa okucacile kwemibhalo iqoqo layo.
Ukubonisana ngezinqolobane zomlando, obekungenye yezindawo ezibuthakathaka, kuye kwaba umusa ngokwenziwa koHlelo Lukazwelonke Lwezincwadi Zezithombe, olusungule isigaba salo sokuqala, emtapweni wolwazi wezithombe wasePachuca, uhlelo lokuhlenga amaqoqo wezithombe. Ngalolu hlelo, kusanda kugcinwa izithombe ezingama-274,834; Ama-217,220 asenziwe ikhathalogu futhi athunjwa futhi ayi-137 234 afakwa ekhompyutheni, futhi kulindeleke ukuthi ekupheleni konyaka we-1994 ukukleliswa kwamanani kuyofinyelela kumayunithi ayizinkulungwane ezingama-400.
Namuhla kungenzeka ukufinyelela ngqo kulwazi olufunayo futhi uthole ikhophi ephrintiwe ngokushesha noma ngokukhethwa kamuva; Umsebenzisi uyakwazi futhi ukuthola uhlu olusiza ukutholakala kwezithombe esibukweni.
