Jose Javier Albisu Perez maintains a blog called PelotaManoRemonte, which specializes in the history of the modalities in its title. It is a great place to start for those who may love to watch these modalities, but are unaware of that history. He tells the histories through biographies of great players. He has two condensed histories on his blog. Both are in Castilian. They are:
1A. A Brief History of Pala (in 3 chapters)
Chapter 1: (18th and 19th Centuries)
Chapter 2: (20th Century)
Chapter 3: (20th and 21st Centuries)
Included are several biographies of great Palistas down through the years.

Chapter 2
Chapter 3

InnPala also contains a brief history of the sport by Jesus Azurmendi
2. A brief history of Remonte

Albisu has also written books about Remonte history, including a recent one biography of Koteto Ezkurra, one of the best players in the history of the sport, who retired last October.
