History and Biographies Collections

Fundación Banco Santander, faithful to its commitment to humanism, the expansion of knowledge and the certainty that knowledge of what happened in the past is a way to understand our present in order to aspire to a better future, has created and published Colección Historia Fundamental (Fundamental History Collection). Each of its volumes will gather episodes, facts, characters, themes and writings -between the 16th and 18th centuries- of the Spanish and Latin American reality that, due to different circumstances, were forgotten, unclarified or are still ignored by the general public. In this manner, we hope to contribute to a deeper reflection and analysis of history that will illuminate these centuries and enrich our present time.
