Francisco Ferrer Collection, 1891-1979

http://www.oac.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/tf1n39n87r

This collection was compiled primarily by Sol Ferrer Sanmarti, the daughter of Francisco Ferrer Guardia (1859-1909), a theoretical anarchist from Catalonia and the founder of La Escuela Moderna. The Francisco Ferrer Guardia material spans the last eight years of his life, from the establishment of La Escuela Moderna in 1901 to his execution in 1909. It consists of Ferrer Guardia's correspondence between 1902-1909, the original manuscript of his "Principios de la Moral Cientifica," transcriptions by Sol Ferrer of other writings, copies of legal documents including his will and estate inventory, and correspondence of his colleagues Charles Ange Laisant (1841-1920) and Charles Malato (1857-1938). The bulk of the collection dates from the 1940s through the 1970s and consists of correspondence, writings and lectures by Sol Ferrer in French and Spanish, research material she collected for her dissertation and books on Francisco Ferrer Guardia, commemorative material and photographs. There is also a small amount of material related to Sol Ferrer's daughter, Olga Prejevalinsky Ferrer. The collection is arranged in seven series: 1) FRANCISCO FERRER GUARDIA, 2) CHARLES ANGE LAISANT, 3) CHARLES MALATO, 4) SOL FERRER, 5) RESEARCH MATERIALS ABOUT FRANCISCO FERRER, 6) EPHEMERA, PHOTOGRAPHS AND SCRAPBOOKS, and 7) OLGA P. FERRER.
