Jewish museums and libraries will have their collections ‘digitised’ and posted online, after a £1.3m grant was received by the European Commission for the project.
Jewish collections, including photos of artefacts, books, videos and sound archives from museums like London’s Jewish museum and the British Library, will be searchable online through ‘Europeana’, a search engine for European culture designed by the European Union.

Now a £2.6m project named ‘Judaica Europeana’ has won funding to ensure Jewish artefacts are included in the ‘Europeana’ search engine.
The project has been initiated by European Association for Jewish Culture in London and the Goethe University Library, Judaica Collection in Frankfurt am Main.

The project will take two years to complete, and will include items and archives from the Alliance Israélite Universelle in Paris, the Paris Yiddish Centre’s Medem Library, the British Library, the Hungarian Jewish Archives, Jewish Museum of Greece, the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage, the Emanuel Ringelblum Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw, the Jewish Museum in London and Amitié Centre in Bologna.
