Date: 16-18 January 2024 This seminar is organised in the framework of The European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI) In the last decade, Austrian Holocaust research and education has gone digital. In this rapidly evolving framework, the EHRI Seminar addresses the following questions: ● What are the topics in Austrian Holocaust research that are explored using digital tools, maps, databases, and digital repositories? Together with some EHRI-AT partners, the VWI will offer a methodological seminar to present and share digital tools and methods as well as reflections on theoretical concepts that are relevant for Holocaust Studies in Austria, in Central Europe and beyond. Therefore, we offer a diverse programme including input lectures, group discussions and presentations as well as city walking tours on specific Holocaust-related topics and visits to various archives and memorial sites in Vienna. In addition, there will be several opportunities for participants to offer brief, informal presentations on their current research on the Holocaust in Austria and receive input and suggestions from other participants and lecturers. The seminar will be held in person and in English. We are looking forward to applications from junior and senior researchers, archivists as well as people working in memorial sites or educational programmes. The seminar is offered as part of the EHRI project and is supported by the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 programme. It is organised by the Vienna Wiesenthal Institute, part of the EHRI Consortium. EHRI is dedicated to improving access to collections related to Holocaust history and providing infrastructural support for European Holocaust Studies by facilitating access to archival collections through the EHRI Portal and by stimulating innovative, interdisciplinary, and transnational research. Conferences, methodological seminars, fellowships, and workshops play a major role in fostering the exchange of knowledge and connecting Holocaust researchers, local activists, and archivists with the wider European Holocaust research community. As part of the seminar, participants will be introduced to the EHRI Portal, which contains information on 63 countries, over 2,200 archival institutions, and more than 410,000 archival descriptions.
