Description

The document “First ordinary general budget. Exercise 1914”, preserved in the National Archives of Catalonia, is a key witness of the financial and administrative organization of contemporary Catalonia. As a textual document of the 20th century, it is part of the chronological and typological diversity established by the project. Coming from a public institutional fund, it reflects the governance structure and the desire for administrative modernization promoted by the Commonwealth of Catalonia. Territorially, it represents the Catalan national sphere and, thematically, it is framed in the fields of politics, governance and economy, showing how Catalonia aligned itself with European models of public management. This document contributes to understanding the role of Catalonia in the construction of a European identity based on the rationalization of collective services and institutional transparency.
