Since its creation in 1984, the aim of the Centro Cultural Generación del 27 of the Diputación de Málaga has been to safeguard the memory and intellectual legacy of the broad group of creators (writers, plastic artists, musicians, scientists, humanists, etc.) known as the Generation of '27 by recovering their documentary evidence: books, manuscripts and drafts, magazines, diaries and letters, photographic, video and cinematographic material, and plastic and artistic material...

Editions

Among this legacy, and since the year 2000, the Centro Generación del 27, as the owner of the former Imprenta Sur, is the custodian of its installations and operations, publishing different collections composed by hand and printed in these installations that can be considered as museums.
