EHRI

Sixty-five years after the liberation of Auschwitz, sources concerning the Holocaust are currently dispersed across various archives in Europe and beyond, spanning different linguistic regions, scholarly terminologies, and frames of reference. The EHRI project aims to bring these heterogeneous sources together and establish a unified research space for Holocaust studies. This involves creating coordinated physical access arrangements, a virtual research environment offering integrated access to all relevant research data, and the development of authoritative standards and interoperability mechanisms. The SUB’s contribution focuses on integrating data from these diverse sources and building a portal that visualizes the data—for instance, through metadata-based faceted browsing and geobrowsing.
