Abstract
Catalog of the petrological collection of Pere Antiga i Sunyer (1854-1904) of the Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona The didactic collections of natural sciences are an excellent resource for teaching at any educational level. In the 19th century, Pere Antiga i Sunyer treasured collections for the Antiga School, which he ran since it was inherited from his father. In 1888, when the school was closed, the collections were sold to the Martorell Museum, currently the Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona. The collection catalogue consisted of 100 specimens with their corresponding lithological description and localities. The curator of Petrology at that time, Maximino San Miguel de la Cámara, reviewed and registered 97 of these 100 specimens. Nowadays, only 47 records are preserved from the Antiga collection that have been studied and documented again. In the present study we detail the complete catalogue of the Antiga collection that includes the lithological description, the locality and the most relevant features of each sample.

Summary
El 24 de abril de 1888 el Ayuntamiento de Barcelona formalizó la adquisición por compra de la colección, fruto de la solicitud que Don Pere Antiga i Sunyer envió el 29 de Febrero de 1888, tal y como consta en la carta que le fue enviada (transcripción Fig. 3). De este modo se convirtió en la primera colección de rocas ingresada como tal en el departamento de Petrología del Museo Martorell, actual Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona (MCNB). Por lo que se refiere a la identificación de las rocas, se ha tenido en cuenta la determinación inicial, obtenida a través del inventario general del Museo Martorell (AH-MCNB, ID 420), la determinación recogida en el libro de registro, realizada por Maximino San Miguel de la Cámara, conservador en el momento del ingreso, y la determinación actual, tal como se encuentra documentada en la base de datos informatizada de la colección de Petrología (Díaz-Acha y Díaz-Ontiveros 2016).
