Resumen
La fotografía se ha consolidado como una
herramienta documental de valiosa importancia,
al permitir registrar realidades, para inmortalizarse
en el tiempo. El presente artículo tiene como
objetivo describir la importancia del material
gráfico como documento histórico, a la vez que
detalla los resultados parciales de la investigación
en la que se recopila y cataloga el material fotográfico
de la ciudad de San Ramón de los inicios
del Siglo XX, para lograr una reconstrucción
visual de la ciudad. Metodológicamente,
el proyecto recopiló el material fotográfico
y documental de San Ramón antes de 1950,
para posteriormente delimitar la época de estudio
(1890 a 1924). A continuación, se ubicaron las
edificaciones temporal y espacialmente, y se
completó el proceso con el análisis de material
documental adicional que permitió contextualizar
la realidad por representar. Como resultado
de la investigación se recopilan 177 fotografías
con información arquitectónica del periodo
en estudio. Entre el material visual adicional
se detallan partituras, fotografías de retratos
y medios de transporte de la época, lo que
permite contextualizar más de dos kilómetros
lineales de información fidedigna.
