A librarian's perspective on the Cuadernos de Pasado y Presente Collection from the construction of a bibliography

Abstract

This article briefly describes the elaboration and development of the Bibliografía de los Cuadernos de Pasado y Presente, a repertoire that is part of the Final Degree Project "Proyectos y práctica editorial de José María Aricó: la colección de los Cuadernos de Pasado y Presente" (Projects and editorial practice of José María Aricó: the Cuadernos de Pasado y Presente collection). The construction of a bibliography is presented here as the possibility of carrying out a quantitative and qualitative analysis of J. M. Aricó's most important publishing project from a strictly bibliotheological perspective. The results allow us to identify in the Cuadernos de Pasado y Presente collection José María Aricó's will to intervene politically and culturally through the publishing of books, a practice with centuries of existence scarcely approached from librarianship.
