The collection comprises approximately 524 documents, including books and bound archival material from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century. 

The Foundlings' Press is an integral part of the visual and everyday history of a colonial and later independent "Argentina." The press and the printed materials produced from it are both witnesses to and protagonists of the political and cultural transformation not only of Argentina but also of the Southern Cone. This press was the first to have continuity over time, preceding the establishment of printing presses in neighboring countries. 

The Foundlings' Press was established in 1780 under the interests of the Spanish Crown, serving as a means of disseminating ideas of domination and governance. After the May Revolution in 1810, the press continued to operate with similar objectives but now aligned with the independence movements. Furthermore, it can be inferred that the maintenance of this press faced challenges, considering that we now see a prolific production of works but with limited print runs. This means that while many works were produced by this press, many exist as unique copies.
