Bibliographical collections of the General Archive of Andalusia

A treasure to discover

Abstract

The Library of the General Archive of Andalusia is organized around three different sections: a library specialized in archival topics and related to documentary heritage; the loose publications that are part of the Archive's documentation; and a third section that houses those bibliographic and periodical collections that have been accompanying the archival collections. This communication addresses the study of the latter. Firstly, the Library of the Royal Artillery Factory of Seville and two personal libraries are analyzed, that of Jorge Bonsor and that of José Sánchez de Ibargüen. Below, two periodicals’ collections are described: the Club Gorca Collection (Cultural and Artistic Meetings Group) and the Jerónimo Garrudo Collection.
