| Summary: | This article aims to show the way the mission in Batuc, Sonora was embedded in the commercial circuits of its time, using a concrete case to examine the connection between the local agrarian economy, the regional mining economy and New Spanish and global commercial flows, all of them converging in Mexico City. It thus aims to reveal the composition of the colony’s internal market and explore the scope of early globalization. It will also shed light on the evolution of the material culture of the missions, examining orders for goods, the so-called “memories” that missionaries sent to the Procurator of the Society of Jesus in Mexico City. Due to the availability of sources, this article is focused on the period between 1700 and 1767.
