Abstract: Argentine export statistics from the last decades of the nineteenth century up until the First World War has been widely revisited over the years. This paper presents a reconstruction of an economic data series, contributing to well-documented debates around the reliability and limitations of existing official records. This new database adopts a systematic, multilateral and long-term approach. The level of granularity both, in terms of product breakdown and geographic distribution, is its main contribution. Through this work, we describe how original data was modified, and our results are compared with previous data series. Key highlights from our research include: the identification of export cycles, the performance of volumes vs. prices, the fragmentation trend of the Argentine international trade, a revaluation of the intermediate ports, and the diversification destinations.
