Fons de Documentació del Medi Ambient de La Casa Verda

Historical information: It was a documentation center and archive founded at the request of the Acció Ecologista (AE) del País Valencià collective, located in its headquarters, called La Casa Verda, in the Ruzafa neighborhood. The archive was created in 1982 by Alejandro de la Cueva and Ferrán García, supported by Enric Martínez, Toni García and Elia Reolid. Since then it was coordinated and animated by De la Cueva, until 2010, when he retired and the archive. At the end of the 1990s the books of the FDMACV were donated to the Science Library of the University of Valencia. In 2010, all its collections were deposited in the Biblioteca Historicomédica Vicent Peset Llorca of the Instituto Institut Interunversitari López Piñero, of that university, where they are being catalogued.
