ABSTRACT

The European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI) is a Horizon 2020 project that started in October 2010 as a FP7 project of the European Union. EHRI's main objective is to support the Holocaust research community by opening up a portal that gives online access to dispersed sources relating to the Holocaust, and by encouraging collaborative research through the development of tools. In its case study on the Holocaust in Greece, EHRI has organized its identification and investigation work for data integration on the work carried out by the 'user requirements' work package. The largest institution for EHRI's purposes in Greece is the General State Archives (GSA). They are the national institution responsible for the preservation and promotion of the Greek archival materials. The workshop participants raised EHRI's awareness about several challenges for data identification of sources on the Holocaust in Greece. A first challenge is that finding aids are often only consultable at the repository itself.
