Camilo José Cela Archive

Press Archive:

The Press Archive (or the archive of press clippings) is one of the most useful tools for researchers and scholars who want to delve into the work and life of this prolific writer. This collection is configured in two different sets: on the one hand, one that assembles the press work published by Camilo José Cela  and, on the other, reviews or news about him. A notable fact is that the volumes corresponding to the first years were collected and organized by the author himself, consisting, in many cases, of handwritten annotations of undeniable value.
This collection comprises more than 170,000 clippings from the date of publication of his first works until his death in 2002.

Photo library and media library:

The photographic archives kept at the Foundation are comprised by more than 10,000 photographs and slides. This material testifies to the intense life of the writer, his many travels, the main events of his literary career and his many encounters with relevant personalities of twentieth-century Spanish social and cultural life. To consult part of the writer's photo library you can visit Cervantes Virtual/Fototeca.
The media library is comprised of many documentaries about his life and his work, television interviews and reports of the events that accompanied him throughout his career as a writer. This complete stock of almost 1,000 digitalized audiovisual films is rounded off with films based on his works and other documents of different themes.
