Inauguration of the exhibition "Not so invisible. Women in Valencian printing. Sixteenth to twenty-first centuries"

On 6 October at 7 p.m. the exhibition "Not so invisible. Women in Valencian printing. Sixteenth to twenty-first centuries" in the Duc de Calàbria Room of the Historical Library. 

This exhibition, curated by Aránzazu Guerola Inza and Enrique Fink Hurtado (members of the Societat Bibliogràfica Valenciana Jerònima Galés and the Asociación de Amigos del Museo de la Imprenta. Senado del Museo) offers us a journey that goes from the arrival of printing in Valencia to the present day, with women printers as the protagonists. 

An itinerary through time is made, exemplified by a careful selection of printed documents produced in Valencian workshops, works in whose production women have participated without receiving deserved recognition.

The exhibition can be visited at the Sala Duc de Calàbria until 8 January 2023.

The Historical Heritage Group of the Autonomic Police Unit attached to the Comunitat Valenciana has recovered twenty books that were stolen from the Biblioteca Històrica of the Universitat de València. The group was informed, by those responsible for the Library, about the disappearance of these copies, some of them of great historical and patrimonial value, among which is a copy of the playwright and writer Manuel Lassala.

The recovered books, published between 1784 and 1945, have already been delivered to the director of the Servei de Biblioteques i Documentació de la Universitat de València for their reincorporation into the collection.
