Antic Gremi Revenedors de Barcelona Research Grant 2022

The Associació Antic Gremi de Revenedors, 1447 annually awards the Antic Gremi Revenedors de Barcelona Research Grant to promote research, study, and the expansion of knowledge regarding the labor history of Barcelona and this entity, founded in the 15th century and still operational today. The grant is awarded to the best unpublished project dedicated to exploring a specific period, theme, or event in the city’s history or the Gremi de Tenders Revenedors de Barcelona between 1447 and 1850, with a €5,000 prize.

The 2022 winning project is Keys to the Survival of the Gremi de Tenders i Revenedors de Barcelona, 1790-1840, by Clàudia Mateo Lozano. It aims to provide a comprehensive view of the confraternity during its final years as a guild, its regulatory reform, and its transformation into a mutual aid association.

Ultimately, the project seeks to address the political-administrative, social, and economic factors that allowed the Gremi de Tenders i Revenedors to survive during this turbulent period (1790-1840), when most other guilds in the city disappeared.
