Exhibition "100 years of the Revista de Catalunya and the figure of Antoni Rovira i Virgili" at Catalunya campus CRAI
From to
On the occasion of the centenary of the Revista de Catalunya (1924-2024), the Catalunya campus CRAI has prepared the exhibition "100 years of the Revista de Catalunya and the figure of Antoni Rovira i Virgili".
The exhibition consists of 5 panels that explain the trajectory of the Revista de Catalunya through the multifaceted figure of Antoni Rovira i Virgili, founder and first director of the magazine. Special attention is also paid to his daughter Teresa Rovira Comas, who continues her father's extensive cultural legacy. The exhibition is complemented by a selection of copies from the Revista de Catalunya and works from the Antoni Rovira i Virgili Fund of the CRAI.
Taking advantage of the occasion, the Antoni Rovira i Virgili Collection Guide has also been published , which describes the content of the collection of works written by the author or that speak of him, which are available in the special collections section of the Catalunya campus CRAI. It should be noted that, recently, within the framework of a Catalunya campus CRAI project with the support of the Generalitat's Department of Culture, 47 of these works have been digitized and incorporated into the Digital Memory of Catalonia .
All of this is part of the proceedings of the Conferences of the Josep Antoni Baixeras Chair of Catalan Literary Heritage: "La Revista de Catalunya i la seva época" (October 16 and 23, 2024)" which, among others, have included the presentation of the facsimile edition of one of Rovira i Virgili's most important books: "The Last Days of Republican Catalonia" Published almost identically to the original by URV Publications, the edition includes an introduction entitled "University libraries and singular heritage" written by the CRAI librarian, Gema Duarte.
The exhibition can be visited from October 16 to 31 in the lobby of the Catalunya campus CRAI and is also available in virtual format . In addition, it is planned that it will travel through the other CRAIs of the URV.
