Domingo Beltran Corbalan

Domingo Beltran Corbalan is an Adjunct Professor (part-time) at the University of Murcia's Faculty of Arts and Humanities, within the Department of Prehistory, Archaeology, Ancient History, Medieval History and Historiographic Sciences and Techniques. He holds a PhD from the Universidad de Murcia (2014), supervised by Dr. Francisco Reyes Marsilla de Pascual, focusing on the archival history of the House of Vélez.

His research group, 'Paleography and Literacy. Documentation and Archives,' explores topics such as noble archives, heraldic representation, and classical antiquity in noble contexts. His work spans 18th-century noble documentation practices, Spanish aristocratic families like the Vélez and Alba, and the intersection of material culture with historical memory.

Notable contributions include studies on the centralized organization of noble archives (e.g., Villafranca, Vélez, and Medina Sidonia), the role of libraries in aristocratic intellectual life, and the preservation of inscriptions in historical foundations. His research bridges archival science, paleography, and the socio-political dynamics of noble families in early modern Spain.

His publications reflect a focus on archival analysis, historical documentation, and the cultural practices of Spanish nobility. Key themes include clientelar service networks, heraldic symbolism, and the interplay between classical antiquity and aristocratic identity.
