Ever since the beginning of the project, EHRI (the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure) has been committed to enabling transnational Holocaust research by, among other things, integrating archival descriptions from institutions all over Europe, Israel and the United States. In recent years the scope of action has been broadened to include smaller archival collections that hold equally relevant materials into the research infrastructure, i.e. the EHRI Portal. The EHRI Portal offers access to information on Holocaust-related archival material held in institutions across Europe and beyond.

Challenges and Best Practices

28-30 October 2024, Łódź ,Poland | Deadline for submissions: 31 July 2024

With the growing interest in Holocaust geographies, researchers, projects and/or educators increasingly work and struggle with data representing the places and spaces of Holocaust history. We invite researchers creating and using geospatial data in the field of Holocaust studies to submit their application for the international EHRI workshop Holocaust Places and Spaces as Data: Challenges and Best Practices. The workshop aims to share experience and discuss practical challenges many projects working with spatial data encounter. At the same time, we want to reflect on broader heuristic, epistemological and ethical issues triggered by turning places into data.
