Data Sharing, Holocaust Documentation and the Digital Humanities: Introducing the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI)

The European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI) started its work in October 2010 with financial support from the European Union. The project, which is currently under its second funding phase, continues developing according to its’ mission to support the Holocaust research community by building a digital infrastructure and facilitating human networks and by helping networking of Holocaust researchers and archives. EHRI provides online access to information about dispersed sources relating to the Holocaust through its Online Portal. Tools and methods are developed that enable researchers and archivists to collaboratively work with such sources and explore new methodologies within digital humanities. This contribution seeks to present the resources and services EHRI has to offer to the research community, with a special emphasis on the EHRI Portal
