Description

The WSD Roadmap is supported by Rothschild Foundation Hanadiv Europe and developed by the CHAM – Center for the Humanities and the Digital Humanities Lab, both research units of the Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas da Universidade Nova de Lisboa, with the partnership and co-funding of the Cátedra de Estudos Sefarditas Alberto Benveniste of the Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Lisboa.

Our goals are:

Making primary sources on the Western Sephardic Diaspora more accessible to researchers, archivists, librarians, and interested public;
Diagnosing the state of accessibility, cataloguing, and preservation of documentary collections, and identifying the need for improvements in this respect;
Optimising resources and sharing data with other related projects and platforms;
Encouraging future projects; in particular, those crossing different geographies of the Western Sephardic Diaspora, and using Digital Humanities and Information Science methodologies;
Stimulating the development of Jewish Studies in Portugal.
