Situación actual y balance de los archivos de la alcaldía local de Tunjuelito

Abstract

This research analyzes the current situation and balance of public archives at the Local Mayor’s Office of Tunjuelito, with the purpose of identifying the level of development of the archival function within the environments proposed for the study. The research, based on a mixed-method approach with a qualitative predominance, employed the case study as its main method and techniques such as meta analysis. The results show that, within the governance environment, the entity presents institutional dependence that limits management effectiveness; in terms of records management, there are advances in the implementation of instruments, though only partially applied; in the technological environment, a low level of integration of digital tools is evident; in the organizational component, processes lack adequate control and monitoring; in the occupational environment, there is a predominance of low professionalization and outsourcing hiring practices; and in the educational environment, there are gaps in staff training and professional development. The Local Mayor’s Office of Tunjuelito demonstrates an archival function in progress, mainly due to its dependence on the Secretariat of Government, but it requires strengthening coordination mechanisms, staff training, and technological modernization to achieve an efficient archival function that ensures transparency, access to information, and the preservation of documentary heritage.
