English Language Broadcast - A picturesque history of a bank and its employees - 25/04/24
Manage episode 414486164 series 63543
Spain's central bank is the Banco de España, and its archives contain decades of information about its branches, its buildings and its employees. And many of the documents, from the last quarter of the nineteenth century onwards, contain photographs.
The archivists at the Banco de España have spent recent years cataloguing all the photographs found within their archives that illustrate the history of the bank, but also the history of Spain and its people... As well as the history of photography itself, with its changing quality and aesthetics. And a selection of these photographs are now available to the public, in an exhibition that opened at the beginning of this month, and that will be open until the 20th of July... 'The Photographic Archive of the Banco de España'. We talked to archivists Elena Serrano and Patricia Alonso, curators of the exhibition.
