description This paper investigates the delayed transition from memory to history in the works devoted to the Spanish involvement in the French Resistance. To this end, I first analyze the scant historiography dedicated to the subject, and the main publications of a bibliography based on the memories and testimonies of those who fought in the Resistance. However, the paper pays special attention to the work of three French historians –Geneviève Dreyfus-Armand, Denis Peschanski and Emile Temime–, the three pioneers who theorized about oblivion and evolution of Spanish resistance studies, and about the official recognition of Spanish figthers. Finally, I present a brief balance of the publications, scientific meetings and recent tributes dedicated to the Spanish resistance on both sides of Pyrenees. This will allow me to reflect on the complex methodologies revealed by such commemorations, and how they may result in the creation of mythical figures.
