The Institut Nova Història is a Catalan cultural foundation with headquarters in Barcelona committed to revisionist pseudohistorical research. Its members, of which the most prominent is the Catalan nationalist writer Jordi Bilbeny, hold that history has been systematically manipulated by the Spanish state since the 15th century to eliminate the Catalan contribution to world history. The foundation promotes research, study and dissemination through publications, conferences, documentaries and symposia of its vision of Catalan history, in particular the annual "Symposium on the Catalan Discovery of America" in Arenys de Munt. This has led them to create a "history of their own" whose theses, "more or less picturesques,” are rejected by academia. Alberto Reig Tapia, from University of Rovira i Virgili considers that their members do not make history but "Parody of History." Josep Colomer, from Georgetown University, has called them “cartoon satirists.” The Institut Nova Història claims that major historical figures, including Christopher Columbus, Erasmus, Miguel de Cervantes, William Shakespeare, Leonardo da Vinci, Saint Teresa of Ávila and others were Catalan. It is funded by the Catalan autonomous government, and has received support from Catalan nationalist politicians.
