In January, the Alicante Provincial Council published in the Official Gazette of the Province the call for grant applications for museums and museum collections for 2026. The Puçol Project Foundation submitted an application for funding with the initiative "The School Textbook Preserved in the Puçol School Museum: First Phase of Cataloging." In the resolution published last May, the project was favorably evaluated, and the Provincial Council awarded it a grant totaling €20,000.00.

Since the beginning of the year, the School Museum's staff have been working on this project, whose main objective is to catalog the school textbook collection, which comprises more than 7,000 items, most of which are located in the museum's office library. Natural sciences, Greek, language and literature, mathematics, religion, spelling, grammar, history… these are just some of the subjects housed in this enormous library, so valued and cherished in Puçol due to its origins as a school library. Moreover, this collection continues to grow daily thanks to donations.

In this first phase of the project, several educational subjects have been selected, studied, and recorded in the museum's inventory, along with all the necessary data and photographs for their comprehensive cataloging.

Thanks to the Alicante Provincial Council, this activity, which focuses on the study of 20th-century educational books, is being carried out. It is a project that allows for the preservation of our recent educational history.
