Figueroa’s project will focus on magazines from the Spanish Transition Period known as La Movida, a countercultural movement that emerged soon after the death of Francisco Franco that spans from 1976 through 1989 in order to create a comprehensive index of the magazines with pertinent metadata. This research will result in an open access database where researchers will be able to find citations and metadata for articles, comic strips, and review published in five different Spanish magazines from this period.

“Among the proposals, the committee thought this project best fulfilled the selection criteria, was particularly well-conceived, and would result in a useful resource for librarians and scholars working on the La Movida cultural movement,” said award Chair Sarah Sussman of Stanford University.
