Workshop at the Wiener Library for the Study of the Holocaust & Genocide

Fri 11 Apr 2014. Time: 9.30am – 1.00pm

The European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI) works to integrate the collections of various Holocaust institutions across Europe into an accessible online portal. EHRI also encourages collaboration in research across various fields of interest. In March 2015, EHRI will introduce its main achievement: an online portal that gives access to dispersed sources relating to the Holocaust.

We would like to invite you to the workshop From Data to Knowledge: How EHRI Links and Opens Holocaust Collections to All, hosted by EHRI partner the Wiener Library. It will give an introduction to EHRI’s work and progress and will have speakers from various areas of the collaboration’s development.

Speakers:

• Ben Barkow (Wiener Library), Introduction
• Dr Laszlo Csosz (Holocaust Memorial Center, Hungary), Overcoming the Gap: Eastern Perpectives on EHRI.
• Dr Veerle vanden Daelen (CEGES-SOMA, Belgium), Bringing in the data – EHRI’s identification and investigation work.
• Miriam Haardt (Wiener Library), The EHRI-Thesaurus – an access tool for dispersed sources?
• Dr Reto Speck (Kings College London), The EHRI Portal: Integrated access to dispersed sources and collaborative tools

The workshop will be followed by a sandwich lunch.

Admission: Free but booking is essential as space is limited.
