Abstract
La Real Casa de Maternidad de La Habana fue creada por Real Cédula de 19 de febrero de 1830 e inaugurada el 14 de octubre de 1832. Esta institución se puso en marcha a iniciativa de Mariano Arango Parreño, presbítero habanero, que fijó su atención en la Real Casa Cuna, dedicada al cuidado de los expósitos y fundada en 1711 por el obispo Gerónimo Valdés. La Real Casa Cuna no tenía una buena situación y carecía de reglamentación que la organizase. Esta empresa la llevó a cabo gracias a una parte del legado de Antonia María García-Menocal, del que Arango era coalbacea. La institución vivió un crecimiento importante durante el periodo estudiado, destacando su unión en 1852 con la Real Casa de Beneficencia. Este hecho convirtió al centro en el gran referente benéfico de toda la Isla, ambas instituciones continuaron su labor conjunta hasta mediados del siglo XX. Cabe señalar en esta evolución el contexto en el que se desarrolla, ya que la construcción del sistema liberal, la evolución del concepto de beneficencia pública y las particulares políticas, sociales y económicas de Cuba marcarían profundamente la historia de la Real Casa de Maternidad. Esta institución generó, en la realización de sus funciones, el fondo documental que se analiza en esta tesis doctoral...

This work was done thanks to the legacy of Antonia María García-Menocal, to whom Arango left in charge of fulfilling his will concerning his legacy. The institution had an important growth during the studied period, highlighting its fusion with the Real Casa de Beneficencia in 1852.
