Newspaper and Periodicals Library
The collection of newspapers and periodicals covers a chronology from the end of the 18th century to the present day, in particular from the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. The Real Sociedad owns a large quantity of Spanish, English, French, Portuguese and Italian gazettes. In them the spirit of Enlightenment can be clearly seen, and the close links between these islands and the rest of the European community are evident.
It is especially worth noting the bulletins that were printed by different committees and public bodies that were formed on the Peninsular during the Spanish War of Independence. Together with these reviews the Institution owns a large number of Canarian works, especially from La Laguna, as well as examples from the Spanish national, European and South American press for the 19th and 20th centuries.
