El Tiempo Digital Archive

Colombia's Newspaper of Record

El Tiempo Digital Archive provides unparalleled access to Colombia’s newspaper of record during one of the most transformative eras in Colombia’s modern history. Spanning from 2005 to the present, this collection captures the daily record of a country navigating the complexities of internal conflict, economic modernization, and unprecedented political shifts. As the primary national daily, and for a significant period between 2001 and 2008, the country’s only newspaper with national circulation, El Tiempo served as the essential platform for documenting the implementation of the “Democratic Security” policy under the Álvaro Uribe administration and the subsequent evolution of the Colombian state’s approach to the long-standing FARC insurgency.
