The Mnemosine Digital Library and its collections: towards a digital history of the Silver Age

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to rethink traditional and historiographical principles to demonstrate the possibilities of reconstruction and rereading of literary historiography with digital resources. The methodology used is derived from the massive digitization of contents made by libraries and institutional archives and their metadata listing that offer specific information about digitized objects. The first results of the research are presented with a double purpose: first, the production, use, diffusion and storage of national and international digital resources related to the rereading of the Silver Age. In the second place, the advances in digital history that Mnemosine, Digital Library of the Other Silver Age (1868-1936) is carrying out through the import, configuration and processing of metadata will be presented, which allows the creation of specific collections that adapt to the needs of users for teaching or research purposes. This research is still open to the results that will be obtained from the implementation of the metadata for each of its collections.
