+The '''Colchagüina Encyclopedia''' is a site designed to provide general information about the territory historically known as Colchagua, providing original content that helps understand the rich history and culture of the 'heart of {{tag|Chile}}'.
+===Mission===
+The mission of the Colchagüina Encyclopedia is to provide a free, reliable multimedia resource that tells a story of Colchagua for students, teachers, and communities seeking to understand how the past informs the present and the future.
+===About the Encyclopedia===
+The Colchagüina Encyclopedia is a reliable resource on the history, culture and identity of Colchagua.  It compiles the most reputable information on a given topic.  As a project of the El Marino newspaper, it seeks to be a reference source for the entire Colchagüina community, publishing biographical and thematic articles written in simple and direct language, with a strict review of sources.  Content creation is a work in progress, with new articles being published on a regular basis.
+The articles are usually accompanied by primary documents and multimedia objects that allow a better understanding of the issues studied.  Many of these items have been compiled especially for publication in the Colchagüina Encyclopedia, in collaboration with numerous local and national institutions.
+===Brief history===
+In 2018, the newspaper El Marino, commemorating its first five years of existence, applied for a project to the Fund for the Promotion of Social Communication Media, financed by the Ministry General Secretariat of Government and the Regional Council of O'Higgins, to create a website to highlight the value of the written press in the towns of the provinces of Colchagua and Cardenal Caro, creating articles on the most important newspapers in the area and digitising those that were the first to be published, for example El Porvenir de San Fernando and La Evolution of Falcons.  The collected material was uploaded to a portal based on WordPress that was titled Museo de la Prensa.
+The following year, in 2019, El Marino again awarded resources from the Media Fund to implement a second part of the project.  This consisted of the migration of the material generated in 2018 to a portal based on MediaWiki, the same software that Wikipedia uses, and the creation of articles for all the newspapers published in the aforementioned provinces, as well as radio, television channels and digital media, and people linked to them.  The site was then called the Aurora de Colchagua Press Museum, and in November of that year it had 934 articles.
+In March 2020, the Press Museum changed its name to Colchagüina Encyclopedia, while expanding its area of interest to all matters related to the area historically known as Colchagua.  In this way, one of the objectives of the original 2018 project was resumed, which was to "highlight the importance of history in these provinces, which until 1976 formed a single region: the former province of Colchagua, subdivided into the departments of San Fernando , Santa Cruz and Cardenal Caro, generating a strong local identity as a result of their joint history".  That year they received funds from Google's emergency journalism fund, which allowed them to cover the covid-19 pandemic.
+In 2021, resources from the Media Fund were again awarded to execute a project that allowed the creation of articles related to old political-administrative divisions (sub-delegations, districts, etc.), as well as numerous biographical sketches, including politicians and politicians who held the positions of aldermen, mayors and governors.  On 28 February 2022, it reached 2,500 articles.  In 2022, it once again received resources from the Media Development Fund to prepare articles related to the San Fernando-Pichilemu railway branch.
+===Financing===
+The Colchagüina Encyclopedia has received funding from the Fund for the Promotion of Social Communication Media, delivered by the Ministry General Secretariat of Government and the Regional Council of Libertador General Bernardo O'Higgins, in 2018, 2019 and 2021.  In addition, in 2020 it obtained funds from the Journalism Emergency Relief Fund (JERF) of the Google News Initiative, assigned through the newspaper El Marino.  In this way it has been possible to maintain the website and make regular updates.
+===Property===
+The website is owned by El Marino, although it is in the process of being transferred to a non-profit foundation that will maintain it in the future.  In addition, its release under a Creative Commons license is under evaluation.
