Dear Colleagues,


We are pleased to announce the CFP for the international colloquium Towards
a Spanish Civil War and Francoist Repression Digital Research Infrastructure
<https://sswsem.wixsite.com/uabdri2023>.

The conference will be hosted by the Center for the Study of Dictatorships
and Democracies (CEDID) at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. It will
be an in-person event November 20-21, 2022 with the option to attend
virtually.

Call for Presenters Submission Deadline August 10, 2023

The first decades of the 21st century evidenced a proliferation of
disparate online resources about the Spanish Civil War and Francoist
repression, both within and beyond the borders of the Spanish state. Now,
in the third decade, the ever-growing number of databases, repositories,
and new media projects calls for a digital infrastructure to bring together
otherwise scattered initiatives and sources of information.



This two-day event seeks to showcase the variety of online resources and
establish a working group to explore possible frameworks for promoting the
discoverability, interoperability, and shared management of digital
heritage related to the Spanish Civil War and Francoist repression.
Inclusive of diverse initiatives and practitioners, the first day's event
will be hybrid (online and in-person), consisting of curated panels of
short presentations and moderated conversations. For this, we solicit
ten-minute videos or live presentations from activists, archivists, and
scholars that introduce completed or in-progress digital projects and their
attendant communities, methodologies, and technologies. Taken together,
these presentations and conversations will set the stage for the second
day's discussion of digital infrastructures and the creation of a working
group. Following a traditional conference format, we solicit 20-minute
papers dealing with resource creation, curation and engagement, reporting
the development of substantial new databases and computational methods,
and/or presenting rigorous theoretical, speculative, or critical
discussions about humanities knowledge and research infrastructures. Papers
will be integrated into thematic groupings in order to foster open
dialogues amongst participants, culminating in a final collaborative
session where we will jointly establish working group principles and
objectives.
