This constantly updated interactive tool offers diverse types of information: locations where oral corpora have been collected, records from each municipality featured in our bibliographic database, vocabulary from the border area, place names cataloged and studied by our team, or proverbs and topical sayings gathered from fieldwork or bibliographic sources. Gradually, we will be adding information on border museums, literary and historical works focused on the border region, photographs obtained in our fieldwork, and more.
