Sumario: On April 19, 1910, multiple activities and projects were programmed to commemorate the first centenary of the independence of Venezuela. Two of them, the construction of the building for the Office of the Main Registry -currently the General Archive of the Nation- and the celebration of the Congress of Municipalities, showcase mixed visions of the idea of nation that was conveyed by the government: a) the one that unites the nation to its past, which we should forget to avoid refreshing the wounds of the colonial period, and b) the one that moves away from that tormented past and its historical load, and focuses on a promissory future that would allow to rewrite the nation. These two events -the archive and the Congress of Municipalities- presented altogether, offer an image of the courses in which the idea of nation was being constructed at the beginning of the Venezuelan 20th century.
