COLEF's Frontier Image Memory Project

The COLEGIO DE LA FRONTERA NORTE a.k.a. COLEF (Northern Frontier College) is a scientific research and high level teaching institution, specialized in the study of the day to day problems in the Mexico-USA Border region. COLEF's primary goal is to transform the knowledge it gathers and generates into a vast resource for the planning and decision making that will contribute to the improvement and development of the region.

COLEF's Frontier Image Memory is a project that turns this institution into a center of graphical and historical reference of occurring events in United States-Mexico border. To this date it stores more than 25 thousand digital archives, along with printed material and slides.

Here are some examples of their vast image library:

Borders and fences
