Popis: We review in this work the activities carried out by our geoscience research group using historical data especially focused on the Extremadura region (SW Spain). We describe some recent works such as the use of correspondence by the Duke of Feria to create precipitation and temperature indices for the period 1750-1840 or the systematic recovery of old meteorological data (including data on unusual variables related to solar radiation). We also describe the work we are doing recovering news about events of interest in geosciences from regional newspapers (meteorological phenomena, earthquakes, fireballs, aurorae at low latitude, ...). Finally, we show a rare episode of great thunderstorms that devastated the Extremadura region in June 1925.
