The Spanish Civil War Memory Project, an initiative of the University of California at San Diego in collaboration with several Spanish civic associations, seeks to build a digital Archive of the Spanish Civil War and the Francoist repression. Since the summer of 2007 several teams of graduate students have been recording audiovisual testimonies of militants, witnesses, and victims of the war and the Francoist dictatorship. It is a great honor and a pleasure to introduce The Spanish Civil War Memory Project to the ALBA community. Our interactions with survivors of the Spanish Civil War and the Francoist dictatorship follow the principles of solidarity and internationalism as represented by the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. From the inception of this project, moreover, The Good Fight, the remarkable documentary on the Abraham Lincoln Brigade by Noel Buckner, Sam Sills, and Mary Dore, has been an invaluable source of inspiration and a moral compass.
