Abstract

This article examines the origin and the historical evolution of the «Club Español Library» in the political, social, cultural and librarian context between 1873 and 1920s. It is paid special attention to the following topics: personalities of the Library, organization and institutional operation, characteristic of the collection and cultural activities. The methodology is sustained in the analysis and interpretation of primary sources, so much documents of the «Club Español» as of its library. This library is presented as a classic reading cabinet of a collectivity, opened to its members, with a bibliographical proposal that was intended to recapture the Spanish cultural values and, simultaneously, to satisfy the literary preferences of that time.
