This past July I had the opportunity to be invited to Colombia to speak on ISO standards in two diffrenet events organized both by the Colombian Society of Archivists:

  • The first one was held in Bogotá in the magnificent seat of the Archivo General de la Nación. It was a 7-hour workshop on ISO 30300 and ISO 14589 in Colombia and in the world. The turnout was a success, fulling the capacity of 200 people. The Colombian professionals are very interested in standardization and especially in understanding the differences between ISO 30300 and ISO 15489, which part one has recently been adapted and adopted in Colombia.
  • The second took place in Bucaramanga in the context of the Congreso Nacional de Archivística where I explained in a paper the main requirements and keys aspects of the family of ISO 30300. I also listen to other high level presentations on various aspects related to standardization exposed by other speakers. The audience from several points of Colombia thanked very much the practical aspects of all interventions.


The visit not only made possible to meet again with dear colleagues, but also to state that Colombian professionals are sufficiently prepared to participate actively in the international standardization work. We wait you at ISO TC46/SC11!
