European Holocaust Research Infrastructure

The EHRI-3 project will run from 2020-2024. It deepens the integration of Holocaust archives and research that has been undertaken by EHRI since 2010. The project will lead to:     

• a substantial increase in the coverage of the EHRI Portal, particularly with regards to the holdings of micro-archives;
• the development of new digital tools that connect dispersed Holocaust sources;    
• the delivery of state-of-the-art training and education opportunities for researchers and archivists;
• the continuation and enhancement of the Conny Kristel Fellowship Programme.

The EHRI Preparatory Phase project (EHRI-PP) will run from 2019-2022. EHRI was added to the European Strategy Forum for Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) Roadmap in 2018 and is currently transforming itself from a project into a permanent organisation that will help secure the future of trans-national Holocaust research, commemoration and education. EHRI will undertake all the necessary legal, financial and strategic work to have this permanent organisation fully operational by January 2025, the 80th-anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

EHRI-PP and EHRI-3 are coordinated by NIOD and are funded through the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Programme.
