EHRI-UK is the UK national arm of the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI), a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC). It is focused on securing and providing access to sources on the Holocaust. EHRI-UK aims to secure the long-terms sustainability of Holocaust research by:

Representing institutions within the UK (and Crown Dependencies) which contain materials related to Holocaust Studies within a strong research consortium;
Connecting resources through a state-of-the-art digital infrastructure;
Developing innovative digital research tools;
Offering fellowships and training opportunities for researchers, archivists, and heritage professionals.
