Historic items reflecting perspectives from both Republican and Francoist sides will be available, alongside books depicting art and culture inspired by the conflict. The Spanish Civil War was not only fought in the streets and across the landscape, but through the embattled pages and canvases of rival propaganda narratives. Also, see rarely viewed treasures relating to the theme of \u201cWorkhouses and \u2018Madhouses\u2019: Histories of mental health and social care in Bristol.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These items will be available to read in the historic Bristol Room with library staff and Bristol Radical History Group volunteers on hand (numbers limited to 20 attendees at a time).
