Description

The handwritten minutes of the first meeting of the Institut d’Estudis Catalans, dated 1907, is a founding document that marks the beginning of a key institution for linguistic research and standardization in Catalonia. The IEC was born with the desire to modernize scientific and humanistic knowledge in Catalan, and to place the Catalan language and culture within European standards. This act reflects the institutionalization of knowledge and the will to build a national culture with international projection.
