Workshop on Research Database

On 4 March 2014 the German members of the research group met with librarians and digital humanities experts from the Georg Eckert Institute and Dr Rachel Heuberger, head of the Judaica Collection held by the Frankfurt University Library, to elaborate the conceptual framework of the planned database. The group discussed various issues, such as technical requirements for the database and standards of bibliographical indexing which would enable JEMdat to be integrated into the existing research infrastructure at the Georg Eckert Institute and into the currently available range of research resources in the field of Jewish history.

The database will be a cooperative project conducted jointly by the Georg Eckert Institute and the Judaica Collection of the Frankfurt University Library.
