El Xic Torrellenc
The digitisation of the association's complete bulletin collection, more than thirty years of issues.
Finished research2024
The bulletin was started by Josep Escofet, one of the association's founders. He and his wife wrote every issue, with the help of a few contributors: studies of the municipal area, captioned photographs, oral memory and the association's own news.
Where it is done
The collection is being digitised at the Arxiu Municipal de Vilafranca del Penedès, with the support of the Diputació de Barcelona. As issues are finished, they are added to the website's archive.
Why it is the most important research
Thirty years of the bulletin are thirty years of people from the village writing about the village. Much of what is known about Torrelles that is not in any official archive is in here: who lived in which house, what a path was called, what was done for the Festa Major. Once everything is digitised and indexed, the website's search engine will be able to search it article by article.
It was started by Josep Escofet, one of the association's founders, as an outlet for the cultural, historical and social life of the municipality. He and his wife wrote every issue, with the help of a few contributors: studies of the municipal area, captioned photographs, oral memory and the association's own news.
