EHRI online portal

The EHRI online portal provides access to information about Holocaust-related archival materials held in institutions across Europe and beyond. The EHRI portal can be accessed by anyone free of charge.

The EHRI portal seeks to overcome one of the hallmark challenges of Holocaust research: the fragmentation and wide geographic dispersal of archival sources documenting the event. By integrating and interconnecting information on tens of thousands of archival sources physically held in hundreds of institutions, the EHRI portal is an invaluable resource for anybody interested in the Holocaust, and enables new transnational and comparative approaches to research.

The EHRI portal is one of the main outcomes of the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI) project, a consortium bringing together Holocaust researchers, archivists and digital humanists from more than 20 institutions. The EHRI portal is an expanding resource and new information and features are continuously added.
