Combined workshop EHRI, Yerusha and 'Frontier of Memory' project

30-31 March, 2015, Jewish Museum in Prague

The workshop aims to recapitulate and evaluate the state of archival documentation of Jewish history and of the Holocaust in the Czech Republic and to discuss the cooperation and synergies with the ongoing international projects.

The aim of the EHRI Community Hub is to offer the archival and research communities interested in the Holocaust the opportunity to virtually collaborate with each other, and to get more tightly involved in the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI).

At the moment the EHRI Community Hub is transferred from the EHRI website to the EHRI Portal and Virtual Research Environment, that will be launched in March 2015. Therefore it is temporarily impossible to login or register.

The National Library of Israel together with the Rothschild Foundation (Hanadiv) Europe is pleased to announce the launch of At the Source a new training and development programme at the National Library of Israel (NLI) for archive and library professionals working with Jewish documentary heritage across Europe.
