Jewish Heritage

I met Lena from the Institute for Jewish Policy Research and the European Association of Jewish Culture, and Dov, who is involved in many things including eJewish.info. We were talking about how the MICHAEL project could be used to create a register of Jewish cultural websites and collections, drawn from each of the national projects - as a 'view' of the European service - see this live link into the database. Dov has the Israeli version of the MICHAEL platform up and running, and is busy translating the interface and terminologies into Hebrew, and is also thiking about Russian.

They are thinking about the next steps, which could include a meeting in the Autumn to look at issues such as languages to be used, and targetting some UK collections to show what could be done.
