Abstract
After the constitution of the authonomous regions in Spain, regional contrasts of the territories that constitute the monarchy were analyzed in order to learn about historical, geographical, ethnical, economical and cultural differences. Nevertheless, the development of local and regional history has been unequal. There is a consolidated regional historiography in the regions where nationalistic positions have promoted its development. In the Canary Islands, the development of regional history is quite new and originates in the university, in spite of the fact the study of the past initiates with Viera y Clavijo and Millares Torres.
