In November 2010 the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI) project was launched. This project is financed by the European Union and will take four years to complete. EHRI's main objective is to support the European Holocaust research community by opening up a portal that will give online access to dispersed sources relating to the Holocaust all over Europe and Israel, and by encouraging collaborative research through the development of tools. To achieve this by 2014 twenty organizations - research institutions, libraries, archives, museums and memorial sites - from thirteen countries will work together in a consortium.

The aims of the project centre on: 

• Research and remembrance
• Access to archives
• Connecting knowledge
• General public

The Wiener Library is pleased to represent the UK as a partner organisation of EHRI.
