Abstract
La Asociación de la Prensa de Madrid (APM) es la mayor y más influyente organización de periodistas de España agrupados en la Federación de Asociaciones de Periodistas de España (FAPE) por lo que está vinculada a las demás agrupaciones provinciales. Tiene entre sus asociados y directivos a personalidades de relieve nacional e internacional (Miguel Moya, su primer presidente, José Francos Rodríguez, Alejandro Lerroux, Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, Azorín, Concha Espina, Josefina Carabias, Manuel Chaves Nogales, Camilo José Cela… entre otros muchos). La APM nació en febrero de 1895 aunque fue en el mes de mayo de ese mismo año cuando celebró su acto verdaderamente fundacional. Nace, en principio, como agrupación asistencial y para defender los derechos de los periodistas, tanto en el terreno laboral como en el profesional. Busca los mismos fines asistenciales (farmacia, asistencia médica, economato) que otras asociaciones similares, pero muy pronto amplía sus servicios: biblioteca, actos culturales, clases de idiomas, de taquigrafía… De los 173 asociados iniciales cofundadores, ha llegado a los 7.521 con los que cuenta hoy. La APM es una institución privada sin ánimo de lucro. La biblioteca está compuesta por una rica colección iniciada el año mismo de su fundación, 1895, y que ha llegado hasta hoy con 13.208 volúmenes y una importante sección de medios de comunicación. Las primeras donaciones, todavía en el S.XIX, fueron de la reina María Cristina de Habsburgo-Lorena, Ministerio de Gracia y Justicia, Ministerio de Fomento, Congreso de los Diputados, Instituto Geográfico y Estadístico. Desde entonces ha sufrido tantos avatares de todo orden (desatenciones, cambios de sede, incendios, escasez de medios, una guerra civil…) que su conformación ha resultado una difícil tarea. En algunos periodos de su historia no pasó de ser un mero instrumento simbólico de prestigio. Sin embargo, siempre ha gozado del interés y atención de numerosos asociados que han ido donando libros de sus bibliotecas particulares...
