Abstract

In the last two decades, Milan has undergone profound transformations from both an urban and social perspective. The online project MilanoAttraverso, promoted by ASP Golgi Redaelli and by a network of local private and public archives and institutions, wants to give back to the community the history of Milan as the centre of a network of solidarity and social inclusion, from National Unity to today. The knowledgebase open to citizenship includes the digitised and curated primary archival and documentary sources displayed and presented according to three structural organisation criteria: the narrative paths and stories, the protagonists – people, institutions and communities, and the historical cartographies were documents – texts, images, multimedia, maps and objects – are geo-based and contextualised according to space and time criteria. The paper presents and critically discusses the case study and, in particular, the three modes of navigation/experience – logical, narrative and visual – offered as an access point to users.
