The document heritage is divided
into three sections: the first is the historical
archive which includes the document funds of the
Gremios de Velers, de Velluters, de Perxers and
the Grand Art of Silk Association. It is a collection
of more than 3000 documents from 1533 until today,
among them are the parchments from the XVI century
among them is the the signed confirmation by the
emperor Carlos I , of the approved ordinances and
the orders by the advisors of Barcelona to a Cofradía
de Tejedores de Velos from the city of Monzon on
16 December 1533. The second is the library-newspapers,
with thousands of different volumes on different
subjects related to the textile industry in general
and to the silk industry in particular. The third
and last section is a photographic archive with
more than 80 albums and 5000 photographs arranged
in chronological order, a project which has been
organized by the Association since the beginning
of the XX century.
All this documented heritage
is organized, classified and computerized, after
a lengthy task carried out in the last decade. The historical archive is currently deposited at l'Historical Archive of the City - Casa de l'Ardiaca.
