Recent works on the careers of leading Paraguayan historians during the 35 years of Alfredo Stroessner’s regime (1954-1989) questions their seemingly neutral role in relation to Stroessner’s cultural policies. This article expands on this questioning to present these historians not only as cultural collaborators through their advice on historical matters and the organization and development of national commemorations, but also as officials of the regime in their role as advisors to an organization created by decree by Stroessner himself, the National Advisory Council on Boundaries, which was active from 1963 until the end of the dictatorship.
Keywords: Paraguayan historiography, History and Stronism, cultural collaborationism, historians and dictatorships
