The Project

The Western Sephardic Diaspora Roadmap (WSD Roadmap) is a project that crosses Digital Humanities and Information Science methods with Jewish Diaspora Studies intending to develop a working tool for researchers and archivists – the WSD Roadmap portal. This portal is an open-source, user-friendly and responsive web platform with information on documentary materials related to the Western Sephardic Diaspora and its background. The WSD Roadmap is supported by international funds 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.
