Abstract

This work aims to describe the emergence of the Centro de Historia de Manizales as an institutional space whose purpose was to promote studies on regional history during the second decade of the 20th century. The text explains were the conditions that facilitated the creation and existence of this Centro in a space far from the Colombian capital and analyze the reasons to explain why the main achievement of this Project, the Archivo Historial journal (1918-1934), did not could have continuity. However, some aspects of regional and local history are mentioned in that magazine that was novel at the time. To carry out this research, I reviewed the copies of the journal, I analyzed the guidelines of the Academia Nacional de Historia during the period of existence of the publication. In particular, I paid attention to the guidelines on the creation of Centro de Historia outside the capital of the country. I also examined the personal correspondence of Enrique Otero D'Acosta, one of the main actors in the case of the journal Archivo Historial. In this way, the work studies aspects related to the writing of regional history in Colombia that had not been previously analyzed, such as the emergence of the Centro, the policies that gave rise to it, and the emergence of a publication such as the Center's journal.
