This workshop’s objective involves enabling historians and researchers who handle archival sources to use open source databases such as AtoM and Archivematica, components of the Trusted Digital Archival Repositories – RDC-Arq, specifically designed for digital preservation and for the large-scale representation and dissemination of archival information and thereby ensuring long-term access.

The workshop therefore focuses on analysing specific bibliographies, methodologies and reference models to ensure the construction of virtual places of memory, safeguarding the historical context, valuing decisive strategies such as the Digital Transformation of Memory Institutions and the patrimonialisation of information access and dissemination platforms and nurturing the digital environment as a space of activation and stimulation, of representation and identities, of proximities and empowerment and of cultural and historical interest.

This activity is part of the VINCULUM meetings: Databases and Historical Archivistics.
