	Archivo Carlos Esplá
		Biblioteca Virtual Miguel de Cervantes. Universidad de Alicante. «Carlos Esplá Rizo nació en Alicante el 23 de junio de 1895 en el seno de una familia republicana de clase media. Educado en un ambiente liberal y culto, pronto dos de los más destacados republicanos de la ciudad -el Dr. Rico y el poeta Sellés-, le tomarían como discípulo predilecto, inculcándole su sentido ético de la vida y el amor por las ideas de progreso y solidaridad. Desde 1912 participó en la reorganización del Partido Republicano alicantino, fundando un año después en compañía de un grupo de amigos el periódico El Luchador, en adelante órgano de expresión de los republicanos de izquierda de la ciudad. Sus furibundos artículos antimonárquicos le costarían en 1916 el destierro a Valencia, ciudad en la que comenzó a destacar como periodista y como activista político. En la capital del Turia conoció e intimó con Felix de Azzati, Marcelino Domingo, Roberto Castrovido, Vicente Marco Miranda, los hermanos Estellés, los hermanos Just, Eugenio Noel y Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, logrando alcanzar un nombre sobresaliente entre los periodistas republicanos valencianos.» España

	Art to the People
		International Institute of Social History, INSH. «To bring art to the people: that is what Walter Crane, Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen, Albert Hahn, Frans Masereel and Gerd Arntz, the five artists in this on-line exhibition wanted. They made prints in large editions and illustrations in popular magazines instead of paintings. In this way, they could reach a large audience, and what's more: an audience that would never visit a museum. Art not only had to reach ordinary people, it also had to contribute to social change. Crane, Steinlen, Hahn, Masereel and Arntz adapted their subjects and style to their political convictions. They depicted daily life, social problems and the struggle for a better society. Their best work is as valid today as when it was created, from the 1880s to the 1930s. For some artists, political involvement, aiming at comprehensibility and the use of cheap printing techniques are no restraints but stimuli.» Holanda

	Arte protegido
		Sociedad Estatal para la Acción Cultural Exterior de España, SEACEX. Catálogo. «En el verano de 1939, apenas terminada la Guerra Civil Española y poco antes de dar comienzo la II Guerra Mundial, Ginebra albergó una exposición antológica con parte de las piezas del patrimonio artístico de nuestro país, trasladadas a la ciudad suiza para salvarlas del grave peligro de destrucción durante la contienda. Entre ellas se contaban las obras maestras del Museo del Prado. Ahora, una muestra esencialmente fotográfica y documental vuelve a la ciudad que fue sede de la antigua Sociedad de Naciones, para rendir homenaje a aquel ingente esfuerzo de protección cultural que permitió la supervivencia del mejor legado artístico español. La operación organizada por las autoridades de la República Española para preservar ese legado representa un ejemplo de pasión por la cultura, incluso en los momentos más dramáticos, que sigue vigente en un mundo sacudido aún en algunos países por la misma irracionalidad que hace décadas mutiló el patrimonio y, por lo tanto, el alma de nuestra nación y del resto de nuestro continente.» España

	Arte y propaganda.
		Colección de carteles de la Universidad de Valencia. «Desde su aparición en el siglo XIX, el cartel ha cumplido una función de comunicación y transmisión de mensajes a una sociedad, en su mayoría analfabeta, que requería una organización visual que enfatizara los símbolos y le diera a la imagen un sentido expresivo, un modo de lectura del discurso.» «La producción cartelística en España durante la República y, especialmente, en la Guerra Civil, fue importantísima; partidos políticos, sindicatos y diferentes entidades, vieron en el cartel el medio idóneo para exponer sus consignas y llegar al pueblo de un modo rápido y eficaz. Las posibilidades que potencia el cartel para alcanzar las transformaciones sociales son infinitas, por ello, un número considerable de artistas ponen su esfuerzo y su talento al servicio de una ideología, y el resultado es la ingente produccion llevada a cabo en estos años. El catálogo que ahora presentamos, recoge todos los carteles de guerra conservados en la Biblioteca Histórica; 260 carteles que ofrecen una precisa perspectiva de lo que fue la producción cartelística de la República entre los años 1936-1939, que Carmen Grimau estimó en 1.000-1.500 carteles.» España

	Bartolomé Ros: a través de un objetivo
		Centro Virtual Cervantes. «Bartolomé Ros, el fotógrafo que llenó de Marruecos las páginas de las mejores revistas españolas en los años 20 y 30, vuelve a África de la mano del Instituto Cervantes. Un acierto que agradecerán cuantas personas se acerquen a contemplar las fotografías que forman esta exposición. Fue este país, abierto a Europa durante el siglo XIX, objeto de deseo y curiosidad para escritores y artistas, en una visión bastante alejada de la realidad, las más de las veces, y que dio en llamarse orientalismo. La fotografía, nacida por aquellas fechas, iba a ser ayuda esencial para apartarse de estereotipos, convirtiéndose en apoyo imprescindible del africanismo, corriente que sustituyó a la anterior.» España

		Canada's Digital Collections.

The founding of Fort Pontchartrain at Detroit in 1701, is an historical fact familiar to many people. What is less known, and seldom appreciated, is the history of a continuous French presence that has survived in this part of the world for nearly three centuries, cut off from and forgotten by the rest of the French-speaking population of North America. How is it that we still find a francophone culture here, in spite of all the pressures to assimilate? Take a few moments to discover - or rediscover - three centuries of history and culture. When and why did the French settle here? How has their language and culture survived for three hundred years? What does the future hold for them?» Canadá

		Canada's Digital Collections. Government of Canada. «The Boat Peoples of Indochina is a testimony to the power of imagery and the role of photography in how we see and think about war. While the name Kim Phuc is unfamiliar, the photograph of the girl who was flayed by napalm in the Vietnam War has seared itself into the consciousness of millions. It was these images of thousands in refugee camps and of survivors being plucked from the South China Sea that convinced governments around the world to accommodate the mass movements of Indochinese refugees. In this regard, Canada has set a world standard in its humanitarian acceptance of refugees.» Canadá

	Carlos V
		Biblioteca Virtual Miguel de Cervantes. Universidad de Alicante. «Este V centenario del nacimiento de Carlos V nos ha dado, junto con grandes Congresos y magnas exposiciones, no pocos artículos y algunos libros en los que los historiadores de media Europa han expresado su opinión sobre el Emperador: Recordemos, a bote pronto, algunas de las figuras más destacadas: el inglés John Elliott, el francés Joseph Pérez, el austríaco Alfred Kohler. Y curiosamente, frente a la avalancha de las conmemoraciones de aquella época, como un homenaje de esa media Europa a la figura del gran Emperador, lo que estos notables historiadores vienen a decirnos es que no nos engañemos: no estamos ante un hombre de su tiempo, no ante un príncipe del Renacimiento, sino ante una figura medieval. Fue un gran fracasado, se dice y se reitera, por cuanto ni consiguió reducir la herejía luterana ni emprender la cruzada contra el Turco; los dos objetivos que se había marcado al principio de su gobierno imperial.» España
