The Bank of Spain launched a project to preserve and provide access to discontinued or estimated statistical series that had previously been managed by researchers. This initiative ensures that critical historical data remains available for future studies, directly supporting open data principles by removing barriers to the reuse of public sector information. The platform is continuously expanding to incorporate new series and external institutional data. By honoring the legacy of Pedro Martínez Méndez, the Bank demonstrates its commitment to transparency, ensuring that valuable economic insights are not lost but remain discoverable for the broader research community. This effort underscores the importance of maintaining accessible archives for historical data. It empowers researchers to build upon past work without losing context, fostering a culture of openness and facilitating more robust, data-driven economic analysis across institutions.
