  • As part of the 50th anniversary of EINA Centre Universitari de Disseny i Art de Barcelona, the History and Design Studies Research Group (GRHED) and the EINA Archive have produced a chronology that summarises the fifty years of the institution's history, from its foundation at the height of Francoism to the present day. It is an informational project, but one that, without neglecting academic rigour, aims to place EINA in the historical-social and cultural setting of the last five decades. The first part of the chronology, corresponding to the period between 1953 and 1980, places the background, the founding and the early years of the school in the context of a Francoist Spain that, more than a decade after the end of the Civil War and the initial severe repression, has relaxed slightly, favouring a more propitious scenario for the arrival of new educational experiences whose principles incorporate the ideas of progress and modernisation of society. Another of its main characteristics is the fact of having been undertaken from the perspective of the digital humanities. The digital humanities are an area of research, teaching and creation in which the studies of the different disciplines related to human culture and computer science converge, tackling projects such as the design and implementation of collections and digital repertories, the analysis and visualisation of large volumes of cultural data, and digital publishing in new formats of academic production in the humanities. The aim of the paper is to place the EINA chronology project in the context of the digital humanities, addressing aspects that range from the conception of the initial proposal to its final design.
