The Feminine Memory. Ibero-American Heritage

In recent years, our societies have been charting a path towards equality between women and men. However, there is still discrimination, and much inequality in Ibero-America, and in the rest of the world. That is why we must recover the distant and recent memory to highlight the contribution made by women in the development of our societies and their unrelenting struggle for human rights.

To highlight the fundamental contribution of women to the Ibero-American historical memory and cultural heritage, the Ibermuseums Program and Spain’s Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports have completed a project that has been consolidated as the first initiative between Ibero-American countries to put the collections online, which resulted in a digital catalog titled The feminine memory: women in history, the history of women, which provides public access to 153 cultural goods from 81 institutions in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Spain, Mexico, Portugal and Uruguay.

The online catalog and its electronic publication are an ambitious initiative that will serve as a technological tool for citizens to understand and value the contributions of women to the history of their peoples.

The feminine memory: women in history, the history of women, represents the culmination of the Spanish project Feminine Heritage.
