The URV Incorporates two new collections into the Digital Memory of Catalonia

These are the archival and bibliographic collections of the Tarragona Teachers Training College

The Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) has added two collections from the Tarragona Teachers Training College (ENMT) to the Digital Memory of Catalonia (MDC).

On the one hand, the Archival Collection of the Tarragona Teachers Training College includes documentation produced between 1867 and 1939, such as minutes of the Faculty Council and the Economic Board, files on pedagogical conferences, correspondence regarding the acceptance of conferences, proof of attendance and evidence of their coverage in the local press and the Official State Gazette (BOE), as well as inventories of acquisitions and the library holdings. It also includes documentary series related to governance and administrative and teaching organization, academic and teaching management, and the human, financial, and material resources of the ENMT.

On the other hand, the Bibliographic Collection of the Tarragona Teachers Training College preserves nearly 600 books and journals dated between 1818 and 1970, focused on pedagogy, natural sciences and mathematics, language and literature, history, geography, and Christian religion. The digital collection presented includes a selection of 43 titles representative of the pedagogical movements of the time, with authors such as Montessori, Pestalozzi, and Natorp, as well as practical manuals, official programs, and normative texts.

For more information, you can consult the guide Collection of the Tarragona Teachers Training College prepared by the URV CRAI.

The collection will soon be catalogued in the Collective Catalogue of the Universities of Catalonia (CCUC) and will form part of the special collections portal.
