This article arises from a research project aimed at recovering the documentary material- musical scores-used by the Boyacá Wind Symphony Orchestra, whose origin dates back to the end of the 19th century. The group has undergone several transitions in terms of function and organizational affiliation. In 2004 there was an internal restructuring that triggered the beginning of its decline. The study was qualitative-descriptive, with a historical-hermeneutic approach. It was divided into the following phases: (1) diagnosis, (2) classification, characterization, and assessment, (3) organization of the documentary archive, and (4) cataloguing. As a result, a catalog of 328 composers and 757 works was compiled, organized according to archival criteria and ready to be transferred to a documentary fund in charge of preserving its contents. In addition, due to the historical void and the limited state of the art to contextualize the documentary archive, several approaches were made to the orchestra and its history that allowed the initiation of four more research studies. The importance of this work lies in the recognition, treatment, and significance of the cultural value of a musical archive and the cultural subject from which it originates: the symphonic band.

Keywords : cultural subject; music archive; musical scores; symphonic band; formative research.
