The Chiapas
Project will allow the students in the IS
207 class to experience the development of several websites on historical
resources on the state of Chiapas in Mexico. These include three bilingual
(Spanish/English) websites:
History
and Archives of Chiapas
Team members: Katheryn Gallant, Jun Kamata
General
Archives of the State of Chiapas (Archivo General del Estado de Chiapas
(AGECH), México)
Team members: Alessandra Lee, Alma Ortega, Marisol Ramos-Lum
Historical
Archives of the State of Chiapas (Archivo Histórico del Estado de Chiapas
(AHECH), México)
Team members: Silvia Calzada, RuthAnn García, Todd Honma, Chungsil
Kim, Chisa Uyeki
Technical liaison and
leader: Sarah Smith
The IS 207 students will
have the opportunity to collaborate with students in the LIS program
in Chiapas (Programa de Bibliotecología, Universidad Autónoma de Chiapas
(UNACH)) who will
assist in the provision of content. IS 207 Students have been assigned
to teams based on interest and expertise and one student will serve
as the lead on technical issues. Each design team will develop their
website in coordination with the other teams and with technical assistance
from the Technical Leader. Since the class will not be able to travel,
we will work with the materials that will be made available to us by
the UNACH students, our contacts, and other material we find locally
or on the Internet. Contacts for
the project are:
- José Luís Castro Aguilar, Director of the
Department of the General Archives, AGECH
- Justus Fenner, Ethnohistorian,
Archivo Histórico
del Estado de Chiapas, PROIMMSE/CIESAS

Archives in Chiapas
The situation of administrative and private archives in the State
of Chiapas, México, is far from being satisfactory. Historians and
other investigators see themselves frequently obligated to seek information
en archives outside Chiapas - archives that are organized and accessible
as are those of Spain, Guatemala, or the City of México. Even though
Chiapas suffered heavy losses in historic documentation and sees itself
constantly confronted with difficulties in financing the rescue and
maintenance of its archives, the situation for researchers could be
improved considerably. Calculating between 700 and 800 archives on
state level, just 5 of them are considered consultable.
