2025-12-23T14:49:32+01:00

From ancient times until the beginning of the last century, candles made from tallow were one of the main and most accessible sources of illumination. This article studies how the Pamplona Regiment managed the production and distribution of a product that it considered essential for the population. Because of the long period of time during which this public supply was in force, we will focus our analysis on the first decades of the 19th century, when a municipal board was set up specifically for this purpose. However, before going on to consider the different competences of this commission and the resources it had at its disposal to put them into practice, the general aspects of this manufacture will be briefly described.

2025-12-23T14:49:09+01:00

This is the second part of a study conducted by three researchers from Laia Ikerketa Taldea, analyzing recent emigration from Navarre to the United States.

Apuntes etnográficos sobre Sangüesa de 1961 y 1973. Entrevistas de Javier Sola Martínez a Roberto Elduayen Miranda y Andresa Goñi Martínez [Ethnographic notes on Sangüesa from 1961 and 1973: Interviews by Javier Sola Martínez with Roberto Elduayen Miranda and Andresa Goñi Martínez]

2025-12-23T14:48:54+01:00

Among the ethnographic documents in the José María Jimeno Jurío Archive, there are two transcribed interviews recorded by the teacher from Sangüesa, Javier Sola Martínez, with two of his fellow townspeople. The first interview was conducted with Roberto Elduayen in 1961, and the second with Andresa Goñi in 1973. The latter was recorded at the request of José María Jimeno Jurío. Both interviews contain recollections of domestic life, daily routines, and local festivities from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Although Sola was not a professional ethnographer, his interviews reflect the influence of the method promoted by José Miguel de Barandiarán and constitute a valuable testament to Navarrese Ethnography from that period.

Tras las ermitas desaparecidas de Ibero: reconstrucción documentada de su localización probable [On the trail of Ibero’s lost hermitages: documented reconstruction of their probable location]

2025-12-23T14:49:01+01:00

This research aims to establish the most probable location of the four historical hermitages of Ibero (Navarre), whose existence is well documented, yet whose precise whereabouts have remained uncertain due to fragmented sources and territorial transformation. The methodology is grounded in a critical analysis of cadastral records, notarial protocols, ecclesiastical archives, municipal documents and oral sources, carefully
compared with prior historiography. The study concludes by identifying their likely locations and demonstrating how prolonged restrictions on access to key sources have shaped the historical transmission of local memory.

Censo de neveros de Navarra [Census of ice houses in Navarre]

2025-12-23T14:48:24+01:00

In 2010, the researcher Antxon Aguirre Sorondo published the article «Ice houses in Navarre. The conservation and sale of snow and ice», which analyses the harvesting of snow and ice as a natural resource used by humans for various purposes. The article also describes the main types of houses or pits to store snow and ice. This is the second and hitherto-unpublished part of that study. In it, the late author tried to write up an inventory of ice houses and collect information about these structures throughout Navarre.
