The Image Archive of the Badalona Museum available on the IMAGINA portal of the Diputació de Barcelona

After years of working on a portal to disseminate the funds and collections of images that are preserved in the archives that are part of the Municipal Archives Network of the Diputació de Barcelona, with the difficulties arising from grouping and fit on the same platform very diverse and different realities, with successes and with more than one project that has failed or turned out not to be operational, it seems that the right path has finally been found and you can now consult the photographic backgrounds of some files on this network.

The portal IMAGINA for the dissemination of funds and collections of images from the archives of the councils that are part of the Municipal Archives Network of the Diputació de Barcelona is being tested and corrected, and is not yet fully developed, but it is a platform to be taken into account to publicize the photographic funds kept by the Image Archive of the Badalona Museum.

The Badalona Museum Image Archive has entered Imagina 1,960 photographs, which correspond to the holdings of Carme Arisa, Núria Argerich Cabús, Joan Bacarisas Teixidó, Ricard Coll Serra, Joaquim Font i Cussó, Francesc Josa Queralt, Agustí Muñoz Tallada and Francisco Prat Vila, this as part of the photographic background of Josep Cortinas Suñol.

The platform allows you to search for photographs within each file by background, by keyword, by author, by date… And, once the search is done, the images can be downloaded.

So, in the celebration of International Archives Week, the Museum wants to contribute to publicizing this portal for disseminating the photographic collections it keeps and which is added to the image albums that are periodically published in the website of the Museum itself.

We invite you to discover this new resource in the following link:
