08.07.2019  The Banco de España and its promotion of economic history research Presentation of the “Guide to Historical Banking Archives in Spain” Pablo Hernández de Cos Governor  Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. It is a pleasure for me to close this conference, which has presented the “Guide to Historical Banking Archives in Spain”. This publication, both for the quality of its information and the wealth of data it contains, will no doubt contribute to increasing knowledge on the historical development of the Spanish banking system. I would like to thank all those who have participated in this project for their efforts. My gratitude in particular to the academic historian, Pedro Tedde, to Professor María del Carmen Angulo, and to all those institutions and individuals who have enthusiastically collaborated in the publication of the guides to their respective archives. And naturally, too, to the Banco de España teams behind this initiative. The value of the initiative lies in the very value of the Spanish banking and Banco de España archive collections. These archives are fundamental to the study of our history and the development of Spain’s banking system. In this respect, I wish to highlight the importance of having historical archives that allow documents to be held and conserved and that guarantee their traceability and integrity. Without these archives, our knowledge of the past would no doubt be limited. Indeed, their subject matter provides for well-founded historical analysis and for a better understanding of the reasons that led to specific financial decisions.
