The soul of the work[1] was written by Max Cahner, and the first director was Jordi Carbonell.
From the second volume the work had its own publisher: Enciclopedia Catalana SA with Jordi Pujol, and the new director was Joan Carreras i Martí [ca].
[2] The encyclopedia collects alphabetical entries about different subjects: history, geography, cultural studies, etc.
It also contains a dictionary of common vocabulary, which was reviewed in the first edition of the work by Ramon Aramon i Serra [ca].
GEC had a fixed team that wrote the content, and furthermore a broad set of partners, among which were the most prominent experts in each subject, which was involved in the preparation of the GEC with a great desire for service to the Catalan people.
