Thirty years

Since the beginning, L’Avenç is devoted to spread the knowledge on history through elements of reflexion and critic of the past, with a special emphasis in contemporary Catalonia, before and after the Civil War.

Our history

In April 1977, in a period of Transition to democracy and political autonomy, a group of university students launched L’Avenç first issue. They said in its foreword: «In the actual process towards the normalization of catalan culture, a history magazine was essential, especially if we bear in mind that History has been a fundamental aspect of our culture and that it has played a distinctive role in our national consolidation process».

The new project

L'AVENÇ has driven in these last years an important strategic process of innovation, with a new layout and the enlargement of contents overlooking the rest of the social sciences. With the aim of strengthen a quality project, addresses to the reader.

In July 2006 we reached an agreement with RBA Libros so that this publishing house holds now a 50% of L’Avenç’s capital. This alliance with one of the most important publishing groups in the country will contribute decisevely to our cultural, editing and managerial project.
