Abstract
Los trabajos de catalogación y gestión de las colecciones geológicas para docencia e investigación del Departamento de Geología, Geografía y Medio Ambiente de la Universidad de Alcalá (España), que actualmente se están realizando, han permitido recuperar, reunir y restaurar diverso material de la colección histórica “Bargalló”, hasta ahora disperso en varias facultades. Esta colección docente se encuentra compuesta por muestras de rocas, minerales y fósiles, además de distinto material original asociado, como etiquetas y cajas de diferentes tamaños. Fue elaborada a principios del siglo XX por el profesor Modesto Bargalló para sus clases de Ciencias Naturales en la Escuela de Magisterio de Guadalajara. En la actualidad, esta colección se encuentra incompleta pero se ha logrado recuperar en total más de medio centenar de muestras litológicas, mineralógicas y paleontológicas. La colección Bargalló posee un alto valor histórico puesto que los elementos que la componen, junto a los textos publicados por el profesor, representan el testimonio material del planteamiento teórico y la puesta en práctica de su innovadora metodología didáctica.
The work of cataloguing and the management of geological collections for teaching and research which are being carried at the Department of Geology, Geography and Environment of the University of Alcalá (Spain), has resulted in the recovery, reunion and restoration of certain material of the historical “Bargalló” collection which had been lost and scattered across different faculties. This educational collection consists of rocks, minerals and fossils, as well as part of the original annexed labelling and some boxes of various sizes. This collection was prepared in the early 20th century by the Professor Modesto Bargalló, for use in his classes of Natural Sciences at the “Escuela de Magisterio de Guadalajara” (Teacher Training College of Guadalajara). At present, this collection is incomplete, but more than fifty lithological, mineralogical and palaeontological samples have been recovered. This material, together with the works published by Bargalló, is of a high historical value as it represents the tangible proof of the theoretical approach and the implementation of the innovative teaching methods of this professor
