The Library of Catalonia has created a new permanent online space dedicated to Josep M. Castellet, coinciding with the commemoration of his birth centenary, to promote the figure of the editor, literary critic, and essayist.

The new website, accessible online, aims to raise awareness of Castellet's figure and his relevance in the cultural, social, literary, and publishing context of the second half of the 20th century. The space facilitates the study and dissemination of his extensive professional career.
The different sections of the website include Castellet's biography, his intellectual facets, bibliography, an image gallery, and a collection of video interviews with cultural personalities.
One of the main objectives is to promote the Josep M. Castellet Fund, held at the Library of Catalonia since 2016 through a donation from his heirs. This fund includes his personal library of 2,500 volumes and diverse professional documentation, such as correspondence and his own works.
The project also redirects to other online resources, such as interviews and articles, thus expanding the accessible information about Castellet's figure.
