INSPAI, Girona Provincial Council’s Image Centre, is a specialised public service forming part of Girona Provincial Council’s Department for Culture, New Technologies, Sports and Wellbeing, and is one of few facilities dedicated specifically to the collection, processing, conservation, dissemination, creation and promotion of images, in addition to providing training and technical support to municipalities and cultural centres and facilities.

The Centre operates within the following two areas:

/ The heritage sphere, in relation to the particular functions of the Emili Massanas i Burcet Image Archive, dedicated to the memory of this figure from Girona, a pioneer in the study of old photographic images and photographers of the Girona province.

/ The contemporary and experimental image creation sphere, for both still images (photographs) and moving (audiovisuals).

The main objectives of INSPAI are to preserve and disseminate the historic photographic and audiovisual memory of the Girona province, in addition to promoting contemporary photography through exhibitions and publications.
