Reading guides On the occasion of the International Book and Reading Year (2005), the Natural Sciences Museum of Barcelona and the Botanical Institute began publishing a collection of reading guides with the aim of completing their libraries and improving dissemination of their archives. These reading guides show the documents held in the Documentation Centre on subjects of general interest and to complement the Museum’s temporary exhibitions. The guides are classified by subject and listed alphabetically by author. The documentary description includes: author, title, place of publication, publisher and year. The printed version is in quadriptych format.
