This article presents information on the developments in contemporary Spanish historiography. Historical research in Spain, as in other countries, has been deeply affected by the historiographical revolution of the twentieth century. The transition to social history started later in Spain than elsewhere, and it was largely brought about by foreign influences. Indeed, Spain's historiographical dependence on the outside continues even at present. Spanish historians are more often beneficiaries than creators of historiographical innovations.
