The CRAI Library of the Pavilion of the Republic (Pavelló de la República (ca)) is an archive and library focused on the Second Spanish Republic, the Spanish Civil War, exile from Spain during Francoist Spain and Spain's transition to democracy. The library is one branch of the umbrella library, the "Resource Center for Learning and Research Library" (CRAI) of the University of Barcelona in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, incorporating numerous branches dedicated to particular fields. The Pavilion library also has important materials on the Soviet Bloc and on the international political history of the twentieth history, particularly World War II. In 1996, the CRAI Pavilion Library incorporated the collections of the University and the Figueras Foundation. The library is housed in the Spanish Pavilion building, which was originally designed and built for the International Exhibition in Paris in 1937. The building was recreated in Barcelona in 1992.
