Yet clear protocols, sector-wide guidance and wellbeing support remain limited. Those on the frontline of digital memory work need protection, care and institutional backing. Read the report and join the conversation: www.digitalmemorylab.com/global-digit... #DigitalHolocaustMemoryFuture
For Holocaust museums, memorials and education organisations, social media is not just a space for sharing content. It is also where staff can encounter hate, distortion and abuse. Our survey shows that many Holocaust memory and education organisations encounter hostility online.
How can augmented reality be used to present the Jewish life and culture now lost from a town due to the Holocaust? Find out more about the Auschwitz Jewish Center's mobile app Oshpitzin on our Digital Memory Database. Register for free: database.digitalmemorylab.com
Can AI be used to fill in the historical record, when little archival material exists? What are the risks of doing this? What histories get lost if we don't? Find out more about the 'Auschwitz Laundry' project from Evgeny Kalachikhin, made at Filmuniversität Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF: bit.ly/3SCbtdf
Arolsen Archives have been leading innovators in the digital Holocaust memory practice, from archive e-guides to crowdsourcing, and a Telegram-based walking tour. Find out more about how these projects were developed in our interviews with staff: database.digitalmemorylab.com
A digital strategy is only meaningful when it can be put into practice. These 9 building blocks can help Holocaust museums, memorials and education organisations move from digital ambition to sustainable digital work. Learn more details: www.digitalmemorylab.com/global-digit...
How can we ensure the sustainability of Holocaust memory in the digital age? We are truly thankful to the colleagues from across Europe, who joined us for 2 days this week despite our most extreme heatwave in history. Together we explored how we turn talk into action.
Right now, Lab's Research Fellow Dr Ben Pelling is in London for the week-long Digital Conference at King’s College London. He presented our Digital Memory Database as part of the panel ‘Softwares, Databases, Histories’.
One year ago today, we all came together for the Connective Holocaust Commemoration Expo at the University of Sussex. The event allowed us all to learn from each other about the state of global digital Holocaust memory practice. Find out more on this topic in our recent survey: bit.ly/4oNOXKf
Our recent survey demonstrated many of the challenges that Holocaust museums, memorials and archives face with integrating digital media into their work. Today, we start working on this with a group of academics, and heritage and policymakers to join us for a 2-day workshop.
Many Holocaust museums, memorials and education organisations face major challenges around staffing, technology, funding and long-term maintenance. Our new survey report asks what it will take to support digital memory work sustainably.
