Holocaust Centre North has recently launched a new online collections browser, enabling people to explore parts of its archive remotely for the first time.
Alongside the searchable browser, the platform also features three new curated digital galleries which are designed to guide visitors through themed selections of digitised photographs, documents, and artefacts and offer structured entry points into the archive for those who want to discover new stories.
The new collections include materials from the Bradford Jewish Refugee Hostel, a selection of precious personal belongings brought by survivors, and a dedicated gallery exploring the experiences of child refugees who escaped Nazi Europe to begin new lives in the UK.
The creation and digitisation of these new image galleries has been three years in the making and has been achieved by working closely with the families of Holocaust survivors and refugees.
For the first time, many of the letters, photographs, and documents collated have been digitised and made publicly available, allowing their stories to be discovered and studied in one place.
