The Western Sephardic Diaspora Roadmap (WSD Roadmap) is a project that crosses Digital Humanities and Information Science methods with Jewish Diaspora Studies with the aim of developing a working tool for researchers, archivists and librarians – the WSD Roadmap portal. This portal will be an open-source, user-friendly and responsive web platform with information on documentary materials related to the Western Sephardic Diaspora and its background. Such information will be focused on two categories – archival collections and published primary sources – and organised in two databases uploaded in the portal.
Goals
. Making primary sources on Western Sephardic Diaspora more accessible for researchers, archivists, librarians, and interested public;
. Diagnosing the state of accessibility, cataloguing, and preservation of documentary collections, and identifying the needs 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.
