Alemannia Judaica - Working Group for the Study of the History of the Jews in Southern Germany and Adjacent Areas [Alemannia Judaica - Arbeitsgemeinschaft für die Erforschung der Geschichte der Juden im süddeutschen und angrenzenden Raum] is a working group of institutions including supporting associations of former synagogues, Jewish museums, documentation and research centers for Jewish regional history, concentration camp memorials and other initiatives, as well as individuals, for whom research into Jewish history and remembrance work locally plays a central role. The website of the working group has been active since 2001 and provides information and images into a wide swath of Jewish history and life in southern Germany, Alsace, German-speaking Switzerland and Vorarlberg / Austria, including links and contact information for other organizations involved in similar work.

NB - the managers of the Alemannia Judaica website have noted that from a technical persepctive, the website no longer meets the requirements placed on a modern site. However, as of July 2021, a working group within Alemannia Judaica has been dealing with how to make the website "fit for the future without any major interventions in terms of content and while maintaining the clear structure and clarity of the pages." As such, the website is currently being revised in many places but will remain online in the coming years while hopefully being updated technologically in the near future.
