Investigar en los archivos de las diócesis castellanoleonesas la financiación eclesiástica en tiempos de la Segunda República

Résumé

The scarce attention paid to most Diocesan archives when studying the Spanish Second Republic becomes total neglect in the case of Diocesan archives in the territory of Castilla y León. This neglect makes particularly difficult a correct understanding of a period characterized both by the general tense relationships existing between civil and ecclesiastical powers and by the enormous diversity found in case studies. Such diversity is even greater in a territory as large as Castilla y León, where there are eleven Diocesan archives as varied as the Diocesan realities they witness to. Affected, in fact, by rather heterogeneous access policies and depositaries of a documentation in very different levels of cataloguing, they are also a mirror of Diocesan situations much more dissimilar in its origin than previously thought.
