Sephardi Spaces: Mapping Identity, Memory, and Migration is a University of Miami digital humanities project that brings together archival research, student scholarship, and interactive storytelling. The platform maps Sephardic lives across time and geography, helping users visualize migration, identity, and cultural continuity across centuries.

At the center of the project is an interactive migration map tracing Sephardic routes from 1492 to the eighteenth century. The flyer highlights locations and networks including North America, the Caribbean, Brazil, Europe, Greece, Istanbul, Livorno, Salonika, and Alexandria, reflecting the breadth of Sephardic movement across the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern worlds.

The project is student-driven. Students create and document historical characters, learn archival methods and digital tools, and contribute directly to a public-facing scholarly platform. Featured figures include Haym Salomon, described as a revolutionary financier, American Jewish educator, and philanthropist; Uriah Phillips Lery, listed on the flyer as a naval officer and defender of religious freedom; and Emma Lazarus, the poet associated with migration, identity, New York, and Sephardic heritage.

The project preserves Sephardic cultural memory by recovering voices, texts, and traditions across centuries. It connects local histories to global networks by tracing routes that link communities across regions, and it bridges the humanities, technology, and public engagement through tools designed to inspire learning and dialogue.
