United Fronteras (UF), locates and documents material / projects that expose / visualize the (dis) encounters of border regions in order to create cross-border cultural digital records and a digital memory of this production. A cross-border cultural digital record brings together material / projects with digital components produced in both countries to delineate border regions historically and by means of this record.
Borderlands Archives Cartography (BAC) is a personal commitment to border communities. This digital mapping project conceptualizes founders Maira E. Álvarez and Sylvia A. Fernández’s fronteriza/transfronteriza knowledge from the U.S.-Mexico region, as well as their academic background in border, literary, and archival studies at the intersection of digital technologies. The project was founded in 2017 by then-graduate students Álvarez and Fernández as an independent, non-funded, and non-institutional project.
