ICIP disseminates the magazines edited by the Catalan Peace Movement on digital format

ICIP has promoted the digitalization of the most emblematic magazines edited by associations and institutions belonging to the Catalan Peace Movement with the aim of disseminating a very little known and difficult to access corpus, due to its special characteristics –apart from the publishing houses- and to its fragmentation through the Catalan territory.
The project has been possible thanks to the collaboration of the Library of Catalonia, which impulses a digitalization project of the Catalan newspaper and magazine patrimony known as the ‘Antique Catalan Magazine Archive’ (ARCA): a unique web portal of magazine periodical collections (preferably complete) which were representative of the Catalan culture and society on the local, national or international ambits.
On this first phase of the project, ICIP selected the most significant magazines of the period so that it was possible to locate and find the complete collections, digitalize and habilitate them so that they are accessible to the public.
These publications are the following: Diari de la pau, En peu de pau, En pie de paz, Mocador, La pau: diari de la pau, Pax and La puça i el general.Contents are available on ICIP website.
In order to disseminate the project, ICIP will organize a public event next Tuesday October 29th, which will count with the participation of the lecturer on Contemporary History of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and expert on the Catalan Peace Movement, Martí Marin, and the director of the Newspaper Library of the Library of Catalonia, M. del Tura Molas. Guifré Miquel, responsible of the ICIP Library will also participate in the event.
