A new digital platform, spearheaded by civil society with support from the National Library of Peru, aims to safeguard and share the cultural heritage of San Juan de Lurigancho (SJL), Peru’s most populous district. The initiative seeks to preserve the collective memory of SJL, making it publicly accessible. The platform will organize and disseminate cultural assets, effectively creating a digital home for the district’s history. This project addresses a need for accessible cultural preservation in a rapidly growing urban area. The platform’s launch was reported by Lima Gris, a local news outlet. It represents a collaborative effort to document and celebrate the identity of a significant part of Lima. The initiative highlights the growing role of citizen-led projects in preserving Peruvian cultural heritage.
