The BIDISO portal (Spanish Golden Age Digital Library), created by the Interdisciplinary Seminar for the Study of Spanish Golden Age Literature (SIELAE) of the University of A Coruña, Spain, provides research sources in the fields of literature, history, history of printing and libraries of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. BIDISO provides access to databases and digitized editions (facsimile and transcribed texts) of Spanish emblem books, news pamphlets, polyantheae (Golden Age encyclopedias) and library inventories. This paper presents an overview of the evolution of the BIDISO research lines, a description of the resources currently offered at our sites and a preview of the new tools we are developing. They are considered as a example of the importance of combining technological and humanistic research for the development of knowledge.
