Abstract
This chapter explores the intersection of Chicana feminism and digital technology in rethinking the 'digital divide' through the lens of Gloria Anzaldúa’s concept of 'bridging.' By engaging with community elders and the oral history project 'En Aquellos Tiempos,' it highlights the significance of inclusive digital archives in transforming hierarchical narratives in historic preservation and urban planning. The analysis emphasizes intergenerational organizing, the role of technology in shaping social relationships, and the unique challenges faced by community elders regarding digital access.
