About the Journal
400 years forged the history of one of the oldest universities in America: the National University of Cordoba, and for the first time, in 1914, that history came to life in pages. The University Journal, founded in 1914, was part of the interrupted university evolution of four centuries and represents, today, a valuable heritage not only cultural but also historical and patrimonial; this is demonstrated by its unpublished documents, particularly of historical interest, official minutes and the persistence throughout its years of the sections of "Crónicas Universitarias" (University Chronicles) that gave an account of the functioning and intellectual work. Dedicated to various topics of intellectual production, among its first issues there were topics related to history, legal sciences, biology, astrophysics, philosophy, geology or sociology.
Undoubtedly, its name summons us to recall not only its editorial trajectory but also to understand the political, social and cultural changes that took place in the university environment. Created with the purpose of acting as a guardian of institutionalized knowledge, its commitment was to reflect the thinking of the academic community. From the account of the facts related to the history of the University since its foundation, the lines of thought that influenced the process of academic formation to the chronicles of the Reform of the University Statute of 1918.
It is unquestionable to think that the UNC Journal was not only a call to reconstruct the memory of 400 years, but, above all, the one that restored through its pages a complex and rich history of university students, teachers, researchers and countless people who through their work directly or indirectly have maintained this work of education and culture.
400 years after its foundation, the UNC has wanted to preserve one of its greatest productions. The University Journal has fulfilled, from its publications, the social mission of the University, linking itself with its environment and expressing its commitment to the culture and education of its people.
