In compliance with Law 34/2002 of 11 July on information society services and electronic commerce (LSSI-CE), users are informed that the website emili.godes.org (hereinafter, ‘the website’) is a non-profit cultural and family project owned by Família Godes / hereus d'Emili Godes, heirs of the photographer Emili Godes Hurtado (Barcelona, 1895–1970). You can contact the rights holder through the contact form.
2. Purpose
The website aims to disseminate the life, work and legacy of the photographer Emili Godes: biography, photographic catalogue, research texts and documentary sources. It does not offer commercial products or services.
3. Intellectual property
The texts, structure, design and code of the website belong to the rights holder or their respective authors and are published for personal, educational and research consultation.
