The Centre for Documentation, Banco de la República Cali is a public space for specialised consulation and research, targeted at the recovery, conservation and promotation of documents that, in different ways, address diverse elements of the Valle del Cauca region and its area of influence along the Pacific coast of Colombia. Among the collection’s holdings there are regional newspapers dating from the nineteenth century to the present, magazines and bulletin edited and publishing across the region, photographic and family album archives, maps and plans, ephemera, fanzines and uncommon publications from Cali, among other materials. The Centre is also an access point for the wider library network of the Banco de la República.

One of the key values of the Universidad Icesi is ‘recognising the dignity of every person’, which is why we are interested in hosting conversations like those proposed by the project Comic and Race in Latin America Comic and Race on our campus and with our university community. As part of the event we are co-organising, the Departament of Communication and Digital Content, the Specialisation in Creative Writing and the Centre for Afrodiasporic Studies (CEAF) will take part in the work being undertaken by this research project, work of real importance to the city of Cali.
