Short Description
The Austrian National Node (EHRI-AT) seeks to ensure the long-term sustainability of the Holocaust research infrastructure within Austria and beyond by representing Austrian institutions working in the field of documentation, commemoration and research on the Holocaust through a strong research consortium. EHRI-AT promotes the exchange and the sharing of expertise on digital developments and connecting resources through a state-of-the-art digital infrastructure. In addition, EHRI-AT is dedicated to the dissemination and implementation of innovative research tools in Holocaust research and higher education. EHRI-AT will offer transnational access and training opportunities for researchers, archivists and heritage professionals.

Methods & Expertise for Research Infrastructure
EHRI-AT mission and aims are closely linked to the wider EHRI mission. Trans-national Holocaust research, commemoration and education is the mission of the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI), and its main challenge is the wide dispersal of sources and expertise across many institutions. The EHRI Portal enables online access to information about Holocaust sources, no matter where they are located. The Conny Kristel Fellowship gives researchers access to the resources of the world’s twenty leading Holocaust archives. EHRI’s extensive programme of networking and training brings people together. Last but not least, EHRI promotes innovative tools that advance the digital transformation of Holocaust research.

EHRI-3 project 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 Online Portal, particularly with regards to the holding of very small 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.
