CURRENT PROJECTS

ARCHIVAL RESEARCH GUIDE The Archival Research Guide aims to enable users to identify materials in our collections that are of interest and relevance to their research. It includes useful background information on research topics, persons, or organizations, as well as an inventory of folders and featured items contained in the JCI Archive.
DIGITAL MEDIA COLLECTION
The JCI Archive houses a collection of digital media, including old audio-video tapes and diskettes. The tape collection contains about 400 units, including documentaries, recordings of lectures, events, and interviews with Holocaust survivors and researchers. Our goal now is to back up and catalog the audio-visual collection using advanced technologies. This project aims to ensure the preservation of these materials and make them accessible to the public. The estimated completion date for the project is December 2024.
NEW JCI HEBREW WEBSITE The new JCI website, available in Hebrew and English and hosted on the Bar-Ilan University platform, provides information about JCI activities, contacts, upcoming events, publications, the library, and more.
The original website, edited in German, was established in 1998 by the Institute's founder, Prof. Dr. Miriam Gillis-Carlebach. In 2008, a virtual exhibition titled 'Highlights on the Jewish Past of Hamburg' was added, available in Hebrew, English, and German.
