Main research of the author is related to the
History of Agrarian and Rural History, field he referred to most of his works
published, starting with his memory of graduate published with the title “The
Dynamics of the Ownership of the Land Property in Icod de los Vinos, Tenerife
(1796-1830). Social Transformations and Economic behaviour in the Crisis of the
Old Regime” (1984), or else some contributions to tributes and congresses as
"Census and Tributes in the Canary Islands at the End of the Old Regime"
(1988); "Irrigation, supply urban and property of water in Tenerife at the
end of the old regime" (1993); "Terrestrial communications in
Tenerife" (2003) and most recently the “History of the Forest
of Tenerife”, work in two volumes, in collaboration (2011).
In recent years, this path of research has led
him to be interested in the study of communal practices and its disappearance,
as it is the case of: "Peasants, agrarian change and communal uses: the
case of the grassland of La Laguna (Tenerife), 1498 - 1769" (2014).
"Communal rights and social conflict during the early modern period:
revolts against the encroachments of the pastures of the Valley of La Orotava
(2015) or" Struggle for the appropriation of resources and the end of
municipal exploitations in las Cañadas del Teide: forms of ownership or
management systems "(2015), and “History and cultural
landscape: the ranches of "culture and cattle" on the summits of
western Tenerife” (2018).
In
parallel with this line of research, the author has developed in addition a
second line of works related with the institutional history of the Canary
Islands during the modern age, as it is the case of "the crisis of the
municipal model in the Canary Islands to end of the old regime (1994), or the
monograph titled the triumphant Nivaria and its glorious capital or the origins
of the insular lawsuit (2001). The need to teach the subject of archives in the
Bachelor's degree in history gave rise to a new line of research in archival
and documentary genesis which in recent years has developed in parallel with
his investigations of agrarian history, highlighting work on the documentary
resources of the ancient councils, as was the case with the catalogue of
documents of the Council of La Palma (1501-1812) published in 1999 or the
chapter “Proceedings of the Council of Tenerife: the application of
quantitative analysis to know the Organization and genesis of a documentary
series” (2009), although recently this line of work has evolved into the study
of the process of formation of the family archives, topic on which has been
invited to the Congress Family files paper." Social groups, domination and
construction of memory (12th - 16th) Vitoria (2014), with the title "the
formation of a family archive: the Lercaro family of Tenerife".
