Consolidation of the COMHISTORIa Repository (an Historical Digital archive of Communication in Southwestern Colombia) through a comparative study of repositories based on the history of communication media and process worldwide, the broadening of collections and the creation of a community of users. The process of creation and development of the COMHISTORIa Repository at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Cali, begun in 2009; requires, for its sustainability and continuity as a research tool, first of all a comparative analysis of similar experiences worldwide thus allowing for the availability of new criteria to broaden collections and, secondly, the creation of a community of users. These objectives require indispensable and permanent human and material resources in order for the consolidation of this repository as a tool around which processes of research, teaching and extension are generated along with the main communication media and networks of communication researchers in the south-western region of Colombia (Cali, Popayan, Pasto), the country and the world.
