Summary:This article presents the first systematic database, based on documentary information, about the circumstances around the kidnappings committed in Spain by ETA and its related organizations.

We also provide a first utilization of the database by analyzing its different variables, which gives us a better understanding of the phenomenon of Basque nationalist terrorism, whose violent action has been present in Spanish society over the past decades.
