The library of Illustrated Travel Notebooks… – BiQVI is a collaborative cultural project of citizen science that focuses on the creation of a universal access digital repository of travel notebooks, and on a popular physical library, in a second pgase, hopefully not to far away. We call it “popular” since there are other specific documentary sources of biologist, doctors, architects, anthropologists, archaeologists… in museums, professional associations and specialized institutions for each discipline.
We emphasize that it is universally accessible, since we believe that being able to observe and enjoy the travel notelbooks must be a citizen’s right, allowing the documentary collection to be freely consulted, and free of charge, for all types of profiles, both scientific and cultural, artistic, as well as for the general public that may like travel notebooks. A right comparable to that cited in the UN charted that indicates that science must be freely because human knowledge must be accessible to all, because we consider that travel notebooks are a cultural asset and at the same time scientific.
