English abstract

The Historic Collection of the Library of the University of Barcelona has approximately 150.000 copies of editions printed between 1465 and 1800. Most of them come from the collections of convents seized by the State in 1835, due to the suppression of religious orders decreed by the Mendizábal government. The creation of a Provenance Database of the Historic Collection of the Library of the University of Barcelona will be made available to researchers and librarians and provide an indispensable tool for the reconstruction of the bibliographic collections of Barcelona’s former convents libraries. Their role in the cultural history of the city is fundamental as some of them functioned as public libraries. The poster justifies the need of this database and shows a prototype of it.

Spanish abstract

La creación de una Base de Datos de Procedencias de la Colección Histórica de la Biblioteca de la Universidad de Barcelona pondrá a disposición de investigadores y bibliotecarios una herramienta imprescindible para la reconstrucción de las bibliotecas de los antiguos conventos de Barcelona, incautadas por el Estado a raíz de las leyes desamortizadoras de Mendizábal durante el primer tercio del S. XIX. Su papel en la historia cultural de la Ciudad es fundamental, ya que algunas de ellas cumplieron la función de públicas. El póster justifica la necesidad de la base de datos y muestra un prototipo de la misma.
