Abstract

This article presents a bibliographical repertoire of gymnastics-sport consisting of 67 works printed in Barcelona from 1820-1910. The work also contains a generic bio-bibliographic and contextualised study of the publications. The documentary sources were localised using other recent works by the author. The aim is to contribute to the organisation of social memory and the dissemination of the historical documentary heritage of physical education and sport. The critical and contextual analysis of this repertory highlights the centrality of Barcelona in the diffusion of the existence of sport associations and the emerging literature accompanying that process.
