The EHRI (European Holocaust Research Infrastructure) Project offers places in an interactive Online Course on “The Holocaust through the Perspective of Primary Sources” designed by EHRI-Partner Yad Vashem. Two rounds of the course are scheduled to take place in the coming months. With original documents and interviews with leading historians, it offers a comprehensive insight into various primary sources essential for Holocaust research.

The Department of Digital Humanities of King's College London is seeking a Research Associate to contribute to the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI), a major EU-funded research infrastructure project. 

The successful candidate for this position will be a researcher with experience in digital approaches to historical research and/or archives. She/he will have excellent written and oral communication skills, and be able to write high quality project deliverables and reports.

In November 2017, the Vilna Gaon State Jewish Museum - EHRI’s partner in Lithuania - opened a new branch devoted to the internationally renowned painter Samuel Bak, born in Vilnius in 1933. It is the first museum in the world devoted solely to the art of this famous Litvak artist.

The latest contribution to the EHRI Document Blog was written by Rebecca Dillmeier from USHMM. The post reports on an ongoing crowdsourcing project that addresses the search and discoverability challenges of large oral history collections. The post gives an insight into the experiences and challenges of using crowdsourcing for oral history transcripts to increase access to this rich resource.
