The Councils are made up of Secretaries and officials of the General Archives of the respective departmental or district territory who work on related issues, a representative of archivists designated by the Colombian Archivists Association and the Colombian Society of Archivists, a representative of the Institutions of Education Superior of the respective jurisdiction and a representative of the local Chamber of Commerce.
