The collection of historical veterinary books has the collaboration of the Associació Catalana d’Història de la Veterinària (ACHV) and its digitalization program for the preservation of veterinary documentary heritage that supports the study and research of veterinary history in Catalonia and Spain.

The objective of this program has been the digital conversion of the veterinary documentary collections published in Catalonia and Spain, with special interest in the monographs, pamphlets and images edited at the end of the XIX and beginning of the XX, that is when the scientific change takes place in the veterinary profession.

This project is still alive and contains more than one hundred and twenty digitalized documents, among which we can find manuscripts, posters, study manuals, dictionaires and encyclopedias of catalan authors such as: Francesc Darder Llimona, Francesc Sugrañes Bardají, Joan Romagosa Vila, Josep Vidal i Munné, Pere M. Rossell i Vila, Pedro Farreras, Salvador Castelló Carreras, among others. The spanish authors are also represented with figures such as: Nicolas Casas Mendoza, Carlos Sanz Egaña or Félix Gordón Ordás.

For the creation of this portal, funding has been received from the Consell de Col·legis Veterinaris de Catalunya (CCVC), the timely help of calls for the conversion of digital funds through repositories of the Ministerio de Cultura, and the collaboration of the institutions such as Facultad de Veterinaria de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Zaragoza, Col·legi de Veterinaris de Girona, Arxiu Municipal d'Història de Barcelona and the Escola Oficial d'Avicultura d'Arenys de Mar.

This collection is complemented by the background of historical veterinary journals and thematically related that is also managed from the ACHV.
