the 19th century and the first decade of the 20th, specially its impact on the insurance industry. Crucial changes took place those years whose influence lasted for decades; this included a rigorous model of public intervention. This made big administrative changes for insurance companies that grow and diversify strongly and extended widely in Spain. A process that is not well know because of the lacking of an exhaustive registration including all the companies during this crucial moment in the economic and business history of Spain. To fill up this gap we offer the following pages and specially the table three and the appendix; two documents whose definitive version will soon appear. To do this we ask, for the elaboration of the last classification, the cooperation of the colleagues that may be interested in the task.
