Historical record of non-extreme events occurring on the Island of Tenerife (Canary Islands) in the period 1494 - 2020

[Description of methods used for collection/generation of data] As a documentary basis, historical records previously made by other authors, official catalogs and inventories for each type of event were used. However, we updated and expanded these records mainly by means of chronicles from the Provincial Historical Archive of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the Diocesan Historical Archive of San Cristóbal de la Laguna and the Municipal Historical Archive of San Cristóbal de La Laguna. We also explored the documents housed in the Digital Press Archive (Jable) of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC), and in the Virtual Library of Historical Press, managed by the Subdirectorate General of Library Coordination of the Ministry of Culture and Sport of the Government of Spain. These documentary sources were complemented with numerous scientific articles, historical press articles collected in newspaper archives of current newspapers (such as El Día, La Provincia, Información, Europa Press, among many others), contrasted scientific forums and blogs, official documents of the Cabildo of Tenerife and other islands, as well as laws collected in the Official State Gazette (BOE) of Spain (Royal Decrees−Law, Decrees, Laws, Orders, etc., approved after a disaster). The complete bibliography is listed in the references section. Cross-checking information from various sources also made it possible to check the data set for inconsistencies, errors, or missing values. This step increased the reliability and accuracy of the data set.
