European Holocaust Research Infrastructure

European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI) Twintig organisaties uit dertien landen hebben de afgelopen jaren gewerkt aan de ontwikkeling van een digitale infrastructuur voor onderzoekers van de Holocaust. In het voorjaar van 2015, zeventig jaar na het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog, zal de portal worden gepresenteerd. Tijdens de KVAN-dagen zal een inkijkje worden gegeven in de inhoud van de portal en de helpdesk. Ook wordt ingegaan op hoe de archiefbeschrijvingen zijn gemaakt, opgehaald, opgeslagen en hoe ze worden gepresenteerd.
De EHRI-portal zal de toegang tot de gefragmenteerde en verspreide bronnen over de Holocaust verbeteren. De portal bevat onder andere beschrijvingen van collecties en archieven, collectiebeherende instellingen, organisaties en personen. Ook zal op nationaal niveau informatie worden aangeboden over de Holocaust, de archiefcultuur en de instellingen waar onderzoekers terecht kunnen voor aan de Holocaust gerelateerde bronnen. Onderzoekers kunnen in de portal zoeken naar beschrijvingen, virtuele collecties samenstellen, annotaties maken en resultaten delen. Een automatische helpdesk helpt onderzoekers bij het beantwoorden van vragen door ze in contact te brengen met een relevante collectie beherende instelling.

Overall objectives

EHRI wants to support the Holocaust research community by:

1.integrating key archival collections into a portal

2.encouraging Holocaust research and investigating new methodologies

Integration of collections

This is necessary because of the fragmentation

and dispersal of archival sources, due to

geographical scope of the Holocaust attemps to destroy the evidence emigration of Holocaust survivors multiplicity of documentation projects after the war
