The Foto Colectania Foundation is a non-profit organisation that was inaugurated in Barcelona in 2002 with the aim of disseminating photography and collecting through exhibitions, activities (colloquiums, seminars, trips) and the publication of catalogues.
Foto Colectania has a photography collection that brings together 3,000 works by Spanish and Portuguese photographers from 1950 to the present day.
In 2001 it received the total donation of the archive of Paco Gómez, photographer of the School of Madrid. It consists of 24,000 negatives, more than 1,000 original copies of a legacy dedicated to his creative work and to the commissions of the magazine Arquitectura, from the Colegio de Arquitectos de Madrid during a period of 15 years (1959 - 1974).
The Foto Colectania Foundation has always sought the alliance and complicity of different entities and institutions, both public and private, to carry out its activities.
An important part of this is its programme of travelling exhibitions, which aims to share and disseminate the Foto Colectania collection, both nationally and internationally.
