Documentary funds
El Punt is dedicated to the compilation of documentary funds of social, cultural and political organizations of antagonistic movements: environmentalism, feminism, anarchism, squatting movement, defense of the territory, anti-prison and anti-repressive struggles, grassroots trade unionism, autonomous movement...
Mainly our background
It is fed by printed documentation intended for propaganda, dissemination, promotion and awareness: posters, stickers, flyers, reports...
Most outstanding documents
The poster collection stands out for its dimensions, designs, content and uniqueness.
By geographical distribution, we mainly have documentation from the Valencian Country, but we also have documentation from the rest of Spain and other countries.
We are currently in the process of classification, installation and description.
Despite being printed documents and widely dispersed at the time, they are ephemeral documentation, the one kept by us being the only existing copy.

Routes through Anarchist Valencia
We are not a publisher, but we want to collaborate in promoting interesting publishing projects such as:
This is a publication about anarchism in the city of Valencia throughout its 150 years of history. We think that one way of conveying the presence of anarchists in Valencia is through the places they passed through or through which they still do today.
We want to recover these spaces of libertarian memory, memory and collective history of culture and struggle that the hegemonic narrative wants to erase and deny.
This is a first approach to recognize the city from a different point of view, as it has never been shown to us, and to have the possibility to tour it from the 12 routes proposed with 196 stops, more than 250 referenced sites, two hundred images and a revolutionary songbook.
