19/07/2021
Archive of Jordi Bigues i Balcells, journalist and activist born in Barcelona in 1954. As a member of the board of Greenpeace-Spain, he coordinated the campaign in favor of the residents of Palomares (Almeria) in the mid-1980s, when the term of compensation to the victims of the nuclear accident of January 17, 1966, was about to expire.
In 2016, Jordi Bigues donated his personal archive on the accident to the Center for the History of Science at the UAB, currently the Institute for the History of Science. The collection contains very diverse documents, both personal and official and public: handwritten notes on meetings; press clippings; correspondence from various senders and recipients; official reports; documentary projects; and scientific articles, books, and publications.
