University Partners Expand Access to Valencian Language and Culture through the Miguel de Cervantes Virtual Library
The Miguel de Cervantes Virtual Library (BVMC) at the University of Alicante marks an important step in preserving and promoting Valencian language, literature, and culture. The newly launched Acadèmia Valenciana de la Llengua portal serves as a dedicated space designed to host and share resources, materials, and scholarly content related to Valencian heritage. The portal broadens access to works from classical and contemporary Valencian authors, a comprehensive catalog of studies, educational proposals, a newspaper library, audio-visual publications, image galleries, and a network of related links. The aim is to increase visibility for scholarly content across platforms and to support researchers, students, and readers exploring the Valencian linguistic and cultural landscape. AVL Collaboration 2025 reports.
The AVL presidency emphasizes the portal’s role in expanding dissemination across diverse channels. The project is described as a means to circulate the work of Valencian writers through multiple platforms while highlighting authors who have received institutional honors over the years. The initiative is presented as an opportunity to continue sharing content related to the Valencian language, culture, and literature with broader audiences. AVL 2025 notes.
University of Alicante Regains Management of the Miguel de Cervantes Library
The Virtual Library network, which includes the Joan Lluís Vives portal and the Miguel de Cervantes Virtual Library, represents a collaborative effort to maximize the use and visibility of digitized collections. The partnership aims to promote the digital edition of some of the region’s most emblematic works within Catalan, Valencian, and Balearic cultural contexts. The overarching goal is to strengthen scholarly access to these archives while supporting ongoing digitization and publication initiatives across the Iberian Peninsula. Cultural Collaboration Report 2025 highlights these aims.
Scholars affiliated with the Academy portal contribute to the project’s mission to preserve and highlight key voices in Valencian literature and related cultural traditions. The collaboration seeks to give readers and researchers a deeper, more interconnected view of the region’s literary history and its contemporary expressions. AVL Archive Notes 2025 mentions the roles of notable writers and critics in shaping Valencian cultural dialogue.
