Abstract

With an essentially methodological interest, the article surveys the main Spanish, Portuguese and international sources of archives for the study of the processes of modernization and political change of the Iberian Peninsula. It comments especially those that are most useful for investigations on secrecy and political opposition, as well as those that are the most appropriate to deal with in relation to the intervention of France, the USA and other powers in Iberian transitions and, particularly, in the Spanish and Portuguese decolonization processes.
