Legajos Sueltos (Loose Files), a corner for history
History will never be boring again. Its importance lies in the fact that it is memory, conflict, identity and, above all, a responsibility.
This is how Legajos Sueltos was born: a space dedicated to rescuing, analysing and contextualising documents, testimonies and historical processes in the context of the Axarquía region. Making them accessible to anyone who wants to discover, comprehend and learn to better understand the world around us, without the need for prior in-depth knowledge.
About ‘Chesko’ González, author of Legajos Sueltos
Francisco Miguel ‘Chesko’ González is a geography and history teacher in Andalusia and has been working for years with a clear conviction: history must be taught with rigour, a critical spirit and, above all, it must be taught to all sectors of society.
For five years, he has been involved in historical memory work related to the civil war, always from a perspective of justice and dignity towards the victims and their families. This experience has profoundly shaped his understanding of historical research: not as an accumulation of data, but as an ethical commitment to documented truth.
His work combines:
- Archival research.
- Critical analysis of sources.
- Accessible historical dissemination.
- Development of teaching materials.
- Reflection on democratic memory.

The name Legajos Sueltos (Loose Files) is no coincidence. A file is a set of archived documents; ‘loose’ because here we take them out of the dust of the archive to give them a voice again, organise them, interpret them and understand their meaning.
Project objective

To disseminate information accurately, without simplifications for self-serving purposes. To contribute to democratic memory, with respect for the victims. To encourage critical thinking, especially among students.
