Situación actual y balance de los archivos del sector cultura, recreación y deporte del ámbito distrital

Abstract

This thesis provides a detailed characterization of the archives in the culture, recreation, and sports sector at the district level in Bogotá during the period 2018-2021. Through a quantitative analysis of EAGED surveys, the implementation of archival instruments and document management policies in five public entities was evaluated. The results show a landscape of significant but uneven progress. Notable improvements were observed in the implementation of Document Retention Schedules and the Document Management Program, reaching levels close to or equal to 100%. However, other instruments, such as the Terminology Bank and the Access Control Tables, showed slower growth. The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted some indicators, such as the Institutional Archive Plan. The study identified critical challenges in technological adaptation, specialized training, and the promotion of a strong archival culture. It highlights the importance of archives not only as repositories of information but as fundamental elements for government transparency and the preservation of cultural heritage.
