The UK has exceptionally rich and diverse archival collections held in public, private and charitable institutions, but currently, there is no unified approach to conserving or disseminating this information. The UK is unique within the field of Holocaust research in Europe, associated as it is with a rich history of refuge and rescue and the innovation driven by the infrastructure will maintain the UK's world leadership in this field. Our objectives are twofold: 1. To coordinate diverse institutions across the UK, ensuring long-term sustainability of Holocaust research a. Creating communities of experts equipped to undertake ground-breaking research, transforming Holocaust knowledge and education in the UK. Working groups will be formed within the EHRI-UK consortium to address issues relating to Holocaust Studies and digital humanities. b. Connecting resources and archival sources through shared innovative digital research tools to create a state-of-the-art digital infrastructure. EHRI-UK will increase representation of the UK within the EHRI Portal, doubling the number of archives currently represented within the Portal within the first 5 years of funding. c. Providing a framework for member organisations to work together and apply for external project-based funding. Within the first 2 years of EHRI-UK, the consortium will submit its first project proposal to a relevant funding body. d. Offering fellowships and training opportunities for researchers, archivists, and heritage professionals. In the first 2 years, EHRI-UK will pilot a scheme for Regional Placements and launch the EHRI-UK National Research Fellowships. 2. To facilitate the continued participation of the UK in the European EHRI-ERIC a. Membership of the EHRI-ERIC enables beneficial access to the trans-national network of research, expertise, and digital know-how. Members of the EHRI-UK consortium will participate in trans-national workings groups of communities of experts. b. Participation creates opportunities for the UK to access European research funds through infrastructure project-based funding. Through the EHRI-ERIC and trans-national working groups, trans-national projects will be identified and applied for. The UK will participate in at least one major application in the first 3 years of existence. National node funding to create and sustain the UK Holocaust Research Infrastructure will cover infrastructure expenses, personnel costs, event and networking organisation, research placements for undergraduate and postgraduate students, research fellowships for researchers in the UK, and essential travel.
