  • The Vasco-Leonesa Coalmine Company Archive, kept and managed by the Vasco-Leonesa Coalmine Foundation (La Robla, León) has a fundamental importance for studying coalmining in Spain and its role as the engine of Spanish industrial development. It includes, as one of its records groups, documents kept about mining activity in the Palencia coalfields of Barruelo and Orbó, from the first operations in 1838. In 1877, Crédito Mobiliario Español sold the mines to the Compañía de los Caminos de Hierro del Norte de España, which included them in the company ́s organisatios chart in its Rolling Stock and Traction Service. Operating problems, a great amount of mine infrastructure work and rising salary costs led the company to decide to separate mine ownership from railway operations, forming Minas de Barruelo S.A. in 1922, whose only customer was the Railroad Company. This article analyses the records series researchers must consult to find out about these historical events, their external characteristics, the legislation used as the foundatios and the information they provide.
