My grandfather fought in the Spanish Civil War - can you find any information about him in your collections?
A Guide to the Spanish Civil War Collections provides a survey of all primary source materials on the Spanish Civil War at the IISH. This guide is an index to collections consisting of hundreds of files and thousands of documents. Staff of the IISH Reading Room staff is in no position to search for personal information or documentation about individuals. If you wish to consult the archival materials you're welcome in the Reading Room. If, after consulting the inventories, you've found documents of interest, it is possible to order some reproductions, for research purposes only. See Reproductions for procedure and rates.
The inventories to Confederación Nacional del Trabajo Archives and Federación Anarquista Ibérica Archives are online available. These are both large collections and hold no index on names.
The IISH has made both collections online available, but its use is still restricted.
