Today Ana Juan, president of the Consell de Formentera, and Encarna Magaña, have signed a collaboration agreement on cultural heritage for the incorporation of images in the Image and Sound Archive of Formentera (AISF).
Encarna Magaña's collection of photographs relating to Formentera are included in the Mestre Lluís Andreu collection of the local Inventory of Documentary Heritage of Images due to their historical and artistic significance. The collection was given to Magaña by her cousin, wife of educator Lluís Andreu's son. Raquel Guasch, heritage councillor, was at the signing as well.
President Juan thanked Encarna Magaña for the holdings. "Today these will become part of the island's cultural heritage and an archive in continuous, active expansion in terms of its documentary collection and conservation work".
The agreement involves the photographic collection of Lluís Andreu, which contains 11 photographs and 23 postcards from Formentera under the Second Spanish Republic; four newspaper clippings, possibly from the 1920s, and six newspaper present-day clippings highlighting anniversary celebrations of the proclamation, 14 April, of the Second Republic. Some of the documents—postcards and photographs—will require restoration, while the rest will be treated with conservation material.
As part of the agreement, the Consell undertakes to conserve, restore, classify, describe and digitalise documents in the most suitable conditions at AISF facilities.
