A Nueva Geografía de Colombia de Francisco Javier Vergara y Velasco (1901) [1902]

Abstract

This research is about the history of the territorial conformation of Colombia using as a departure point the work of the historian, geographer and cartographer Francisco Javier Vergara y Velasco (1860-1914). It is dedicated to the analysis o his main work, the Nueva Geografa de Colombia, published in its definitive version in 1902. This research not only reveals Vergara as an erudite and critical author, but it demonstrates that his geographical thought didn't fitted into the patterns of the geographical ideologies dominating at that period. Also, this research makes a conceptual exploration work, consecrated to the development of categories that allows an even-better comprehension of the complex relationships between geographic sciences, institutions from the Bijzondere Collecties -Universiteitsbibliotheek Utrecht
