EHRI is coordinated by the Netherlands-based NIOD Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies,[2] and is directed by Reto Speck and Karel Berkhoff.
EHRI provides access to information about dispersed Holocaust-related sources through its Online Portal, as well as tools and methods that enable researchers and archivists to work collaboratively.
The portal hosts reports that provide per-country information about the Holocaust history and archival situation, research guides and other services.
Consisting of 24 partners from all over the globe, including institutions from European countries that are traditionally under-represented in the research field, the EHRI-2 project aimed to make previously inaccessible archival material accessible to both scholars and the general public.
Funded by the European Union under the Horizon 2020 Programme, this project focusses on the legal, financial and strategic work necessary to establish EHRI as a research infrastructure that will provide a continual service.
