Abstract

The Banco de España, founded in 1782, has had several headquarters in Madrid. Additionally it has had offices in up to 70 cities in Spain and 6 foreign locations. As a result, the Bank has used a considerable number of buildings throughout its history. The institution’s Archive preserves many of these buildings’ plans in a collection that has recently undergone a major treatment project. After a documental and bibliographical analysis, 2000 singularly valuable architecture plans were selected to be the object of the project tasks: organization, description, restoration, installation and digitalization. To facilitate access to the fond, the Banco de España Historical Archive has defined a specific access policy for the fond’s documents and has planned several dissemination activities to publish the collection and promote the use of the treated documents for research, academic and cultural purposes.
