Abstract

This article intends to be an assessment of the work implemented by the Website Memòria de la presó de dones de Les Corts, –Les Corts women prison memory–, (www.presodelescorts.org). This currently active project started in 2006 by the Associació per la Cultura i la Memòria de Catalunya (ACMe). The text is composed of two parts. In the first one, the project is described within a Public History, Digital History and Oral History framework. The second one focuses on the activities developed along these years. Educational activities such as visits to primary and secondary schools as well as participatory activities. Those actions will materialize in a future monument sited at the former prison’s property in this Barcelona’s district of Les Corts.
