Julián Carrillo was a Mexican composer and musical theorist, widely acknowledged as one of the most important but also controversial composers of the Mexican Culture of early 20th century. He belonged to the artistic elite of Porfirio Díaz regime and kept his leadership in the cultural policy even during and before the Mexican Revolution. In 1923 he published his microtonal system named Sound 13 theory. He directed the National Conservatory of Music in Mexico for two periods (1913-14 and 1920-1923) and the National Symphony Orchestra, between 1918 and 1924. Carrillo is well known, among other things, for being a prolific writer and composer; he wrote numerous theoretical texts and also, he ventured into the design of new musical instruments. The purpose of this paper is to introduce researchers into the corpus of his
personal archive, sheltered in the Julián Carrillo Center of the Ministry of Culture of San Luis Potosí, Mexico.
