Carmen González Guerra
A graduate of the University of Deusto with a Bachelor’s degree in Geography and History, she has headed the Basque Socialism Documentation Centre since 2009, with responsibility for the technical functions of managing and coordinating document recovery, selection, organization and description. In addition to regulating access, consultation and dissemination of the information, she also edits and publishes digital content in different sections of this platform. She currently performs this work as a member of the research staff.
Her previous positions have been related to projects involving the organization and creation of archiving systems in public and private institutions, both in historical archives, such as those of city halls, provincial councils and the Basque Government, as well as in institutions of an economic and financial nature, in most cases as the coordinator and team leader. This professional experience is underpinned by solid academic training, as she was a member of the second graduating class of the Master’s degree in Archiving of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and also holds a Specialized Diploma in Historic Heritage (Archives, Libraries, Museums) from the University of Deusto and a post-graduate degree in Digital Documentation from Pompeu Fabra University. Likewise, she has participated in specialized courses on access to information, intellectual property, databases, digital content management, electronic books, and others.
She recently completed the Master’s in Contemporary History and is currently working a research project on feminine identities in socialist culture. Her interests at the moment are focused on the construction of these identities and gender relations within political cultures.
