Jewish History online
Digital HumanitiesResearchers: Daniel Burckhardt, Miriam Rürup, Nina Zellerhoff in cooperation with Anna Menny (IGdJ Hamburg)
Duration: 2022-
The portal Jewish History online, hosted by the Moses Mendelssohn Center for European-Jewish Studies in Potsdam and developed in cooperation with the Institute for the History of the German Jews in Hamburg, offers a bilingual (German/English) platform for meta-searching various digital projects in the field of Jewish history. The portal thus makes thematically relevant content from different partners searchable within a single interface for the first time. The search result list provides a digital synopsis of sources and research data stored virtually and physically in different locations. This enables easier access to small databases or editions. In addition, it can also offer new perspectives on one's own research question and provide impulses for (quantitative) methods within the field of the Digital Humanities.
Furthermore, a digital offering must be continuously developed and supplemented with new functionalities, features, and additional projects in order to be able to respond to changing needs in the field.
