The COAC's Historical Archive on Instagram
Entering this social network will help disseminate the wealth of documents held in the Historical and Photographic Archive, which currently holds close to two million documented items —plans, maps, sketches, drawings, publications, photographs, correspondence, audiovisual records, etc.—a result, mainly, of donations, making it a reference centre for academics and architects from all over the world, as well as representing an asset of incalculable value.
Created in 1969, the Archive has the rewarding task of disseminating architects’ work as well as showcasing and defending Catalonia’s architectural heritage. It is recognised as one of the world’s most important repositories. It looks after and protects the professional collections of more than one hundred architects, whose work is essential for understanding our country’s architectural history.
These records provide an opportunity to appreciate the contribution of master builders from the Renaissance up to modern day architecture, as much through projects that came to fruition as those that did not, entries for competitions and tenders, reports, reflective texts, etc. It contains information on the majority of the significant historical buildings in Catalonia, whether still in existence or not, as well as the work of many architects spread throughout the world, allowing the tracing of the useful working life of many of them through the documentation regarding their renovations.
In addition to collections donated by architects, the Association also looks after art collections such as the ADLAN’s, archives of organizations such as GATCPAC, or publications including Arquitecturas Bis and Quaderns d'arquitectura i urbanisme, as well as photographic bequests such as that of Francesc Català-Roca.
The Archive offers a service both to architects in their daily professional lives and to researchers, being a key tool for studying the evolution of architecture in our country both from a technical as well as a historical, artistic and social perspective.

Works of art from the COAC's Historical Archive to be exhibited at Can Framis
From 18 January until 3 April the exhibition 'Una col·lecció per a un viatge. Promoció d’arquitectes Barcelona 1960' (Collection for a trip. Barcelona architects 1960) can be visited at the Vila Casas Foundation’s Can Framis Museum.
The show recalls the amazing initiative shown in 1960 by students of the 85th graduating class of ETSAB, the Barcelona School of Architecture, asking for assistance from the artists of the day by which, through donating their work, the necessary money could be generated to pay for their end-of-course trip.
There was an enormous response and 144 artists from 22 different countries selflessly gave their work to form a unique collection. To grasp the importance of this collection, it only suffices to mention the contribution of artists such as Miró, Calder, Cocteau, Dix, Guinovart, Tàpies, Fontana and Morandi, amongst others, or architects such as Gropius, Neutra and Gio Ponti.
The final fate of the works was meant to be their exhibition and sale at the Galeria Joan Gaspar, but the rapid intervention of the architect Antoni de Moragas with the approval of the COAC’s Governing Board enabled the unique collection to be purchased and kept together, to be exhibited for a time at the Association’s new headquarters. Later on, it was deposited in the Historical Archive where it has remained to this day.
On display at the show there will also be three editions of the journal Quaderns d'arquitectura i urbanisme (1960, 1968 and 2007) and the album of the students’ trip put together by Raimon Torres, and lent by the COAC's Library.
