Hemeroteca Municipal de Sevilla, Municipal newspaper library in Seville, Spain
The Municipal Newspaper Library of Seville is a special library focused on newspapers, magazines, and print media, housed in a former courthouse building. The facility contains collections spanning several centuries and offers reading rooms where visitors can access these materials.
The library was established in 1934 and began at another location before moving to the former courthouse in 1987, where it remains today. This relocation provided a stable home and allowed the growing collection to be properly housed.
The name reflects its focus on newspapers and periodicals that have been read by generations of Seville residents. The collection shows how print media evolved in the city and which topics concerned its people over time.
No advance registration is required, but checking opening hours before visiting is wise, especially if seeking specific collections. The facilities are accessible to visitors with mobility needs, and staff can assist in locating particular newspapers or magazines.
The NO8DO Digital project since 2019 makes historical newspapers and magazines available online and offers virtual exhibitions exploring Seville's print history. Many visitors do not realize they can browse these collections from home without visiting the building.
