The most comprehensive survey to date of contemporary photographic projects on the Spanish Civil War, bringing together more than 120 catalogues and photobooks.
A unique focus on the photobook as a memory device, highlighting its role in transmitting inherited trauma and connecting past and present beyond the exhibition space.
An essential interdisciplinary reference, combining photography, visual culture, memory studies and contemporary Spanish history, enriched by conversations with leading Hispanics and curators.
Over the last twenty-five years, a new generation of photographers has given visual form to memories of the Spanish Civil War shaped by silence, distance and inherited trauma rather than direct experience. As grandchildren of those who lived through the conflict, their work emerges from family omissions, institutionalised amnesia and the absence of shared reference points. These photographs do not seek to reconstruct the past, but to address the present and reveal how unresolved histories continue to resonate today. This two-volume publication presents the results of an extensive research and curatorial project dedicated to the recovery, cataloguing, analysis and dissemination of photographic work on the Spanish Civil War published between 1999 and 2025. More than 120 publications are now held in the Spanish Civil War Photographic Memory Archive, which has been exhibited in multiple cities across Spain and Europe, with a particular focus on contemporary photobooks.
