Abstract
The session's purpose is to provide an overview to the first DARLAC collection and its contribution to research on Latin American and Caribbean Research. DARLAC (Digital Archive of Religions in Latin America and the Caribbean) has been central to the Interdisciplinary Initiative on Latin American Religions (LACIIR) at FIU. DARLAC is an effort to preserve different and diverse documents in danger. Documents that tell us about the spiritual and religious experience of diverse communities in Latin America, the Caribbean, and South Florida.
The session will consist of a panel. It’s intended for researchers who are interested in the influence of religiosity on the history of Latin America and the Caribbean and its impact in South Florida. It also aims to establish a model for digital humanities projects.
This document collection traces its roots to the Latin American and Caribbean Catholic social movements and organizations that contributed to shaping the region's history from 1960 to 1985. The collection includes articles, books, newspapers, and other materials, which evidence significant processes in the region. During the session, we'll address challenges and offer insights that have come up while managing extensive collection of documents.
