This article is a contribution to the elaboration of a general balance of regional historiography in Santander, Colombia. The search was exhaustive, but prioritizing the municipalities located in the Sogamoso River basin (Barrancabermeja, Puerto Wilches, Sabana de Torres, Lebrija, Girón, Los Santos, Zapatoca, Betulia and San Vicente de Chucurí). It was used a methodology which included the design of an information capture instrument and a systematic search in the main libraries and databases. Amongst the conclusions, the abundance of research in the nineteenth century is evident. Additionally, public universities have fulfilled their role in the region regarding historical-research contributions with issues such as: problems of colonization and population of the territory, war and violence, social movements, amongst others. Political, geographical, environmental, educational and religious issues occupy a secondary and marginal place in research. However, this bibliography is insufficiently disseminated in a way that the historical knowledge built has not greatly affected the society of the department and the region.

Keywords : historiography.
