Moreso, the available linked data that I was able to access did not cover the actors, places, and temporality I wanted to study. This scarcity constrained me to create my own datasets and focus on a methodological problem instead: the creation of a database using printed sources. In ths presentation, I will explain how I created this database and datasets, but I will also reflect on the digital scarcity of sources in Spanish and about historical actors from the peripheries.
