In the last decade, Austrian Holocaust research and education has gone digital. In this rapidly evolving framework, this EHRI Seminar addresses the following questions:

• What are the topics in Austrian Holocaust research that are explored using digital tools, maps, databases, and digital repositories?
• Which new findings and approaches can be generated with geo-data? And how can you use geo-data in your research?
• How can we (re-)locate documents, memories, specific events by apps and digital maps? Which new spaces emerge through this layering of digital and on-site experience?
• Which databases exist to do research on the Holocaust in Austria? How can a cross-archival approach help to identify, verify, and re-assess names, places, and events across national and linguistic borders?
• How can we address the different quality of sources (visual sources, ego-documents, oral testimonies, perpetrator documentation, forms etc.)? What are the specific possibilities and limitations of these sources, and how can these be approached through digital methods and tools?
• How can researchers address a broader public through blogs, podcasts, and online exhibitions? Which skills and tools are needed to “go public” with your research?
