Salvador Seguí Foundation

The Fundación Salvador Seguí (FSS) is a Spanish cultural and research foundation established in 1986. It operates as a center for libertarian studies (Centro de Estudios Libertarios) with offices in Barcelona, Valencia, and Madrid. Its primary mission is to collect, organize, preserve, and disseminate documentation related to the libertarian movement, particularly the anarcho-syndicalist tradition in Spain. The foundation is named after Salvador Seguí, a prominent Catalan anarcho-syndicalist leader assassinated in 1923. The FSS engages in archival work, publishes research, and organizes cultural events, often in collaboration with or alongside the Confederación General del Trabajo (CGT), Spain's anarcho-syndicalist trade union. While not a commercial brand in the traditional sense, it functions as a non-profit entity within the broader libertarian movement, providing historical resources and educational materials. Its website serves as a portal for accessing its catalog, publications, and information about its activities. The foundation's work is crucial for preserving the history of Spanish anarchism, which was heavily repressed during the Franco dictatorship and experienced a revival during the transition to democracy. The FSS continues to be an active participant in contemporary debates and cultural projects related to libertarian thought.

The Fundación Salvador Seguí was founded in 1986, during a period of resurgence for the Spanish anarchist movement following the end of Franco's dictatorship and the transition to democracy. The foundation was established to collect, organize, preserve, and disseminate documentation related to the libertarian movement, which had suffered decades of repression and exile. It is named after Salvador Seguí, a prominent anarcho-syndicalist leader in Catalonia who was assassinated in 1923. The foundation has since operated as a center for libertarian studies with locations in Barcelona, Valencia, and Madrid. It has been closely associated with the Confederación General del Trabajo (CGT), an anarcho-syndicalist trade union that emerged in 1979 from a split within the CNT. The FSS has played a key role in preserving the historical memory of the anarchist movement, especially during the Spanish Civil War and the subsequent Francoist repression. Over the years, it has published numerous works, organized conferences, and maintained an extensive archive. Its work continues to support research and education on libertarian ideas and practices.
