Abstract

The project focuses on the final development of the Pauliceia 2.0 digital historical cartographic platform of São Paulo city, including its publication on the worldwide web. Pauliceia 2.0 covers the period of São Paulo's urban and industrial modernization (1870-1940). The back-end database will be linked to an interface to allow interaction among interested researchers with the opportunity to feed the database with events that can be spatially represented. This interaction enables researchers to produce maps and visualizations of their own research while providing data to all users. This project will enrich approaches to analyze the past while using new digital humanities technologies to foster collaborative work and free knowledge flow. The first phase of the project, focusing on a pilot area corresponding to São Paulo's city center, was carried out from February 2017 to January 2019. The beta version of the platform is available on the internet for testing. The second phase will expand the spatial coverage, the platform functionalities, and community engagement. It will also create a guide to allow other researchers to replicate the approaches in other cities, with an emphasis on the technological and scientific maturity of the platform. (AU)
