En este artículo se caracterizan los usos que hacen los raizales de las islas de Providencia y Santa Catalina de los almanaques Bristol y Mac Donald. La investigación etnográfica permite mostrar cómo en estos folletos se desdibujan las fronteras entre el conocimiento científico y el conocimiento local y cómo ellos articulan dimensiones naturales y culturales del mundo vivido. Las creencias asociadas a estos calendarios y el empleo de los mismos en la vida cotidiana revelan aspectos políticos e históricos conflictivos de las relaciones de los isleños con la Colombia continental. Dichos vínculos entre usos y creencias han sido obviados en las abundantes etnografías hechas en la zona. PALABRAS-CLAVE: almanaques, calendarios, conocimiento local, etnoclimatología. Uses and beliefs related to Mac Donald and Bristol almanacs in Old Providence and Santa Catalina islands, Colombia This article characterizes the uses of Bristol and Mac Donald almanacs between Raizal people of Providencia and Santa Catalina islands. Ethnographic research in these Caribbean islands shows how these publications blur the borders between scientific and local knowledge and how they articulate natural and cultural dimensions of the lived world. The beliefs associated with these calendars and their use in everyday life reveal political and historical conflictive aspects of the islanders' relations with mainland Colombia. These links between uses and beliefs have been overlooked in the many ethnographies made in the area.
