Abstract: This paper explores a nexus of archival digitization and historical inquiry using the case study of Memento Vienna. Memento Vienna is an online tool, aimed specifically at schools and the general public, that combines datasets and digital collections and georeferences them. The project was led by the Documentation Centre of the Austrian Resistance (DÖW) and is based on the results of decades of digitization work. The project seeks to situate personalized Holocaust histories in Vienna’s first district, offering fresh perspectives on archival material, public interaction with archives, and the development of interactive learning, Holocaust education and memorialization. Using GPS, users can interact with the history of their immediate vicinity and access archival material and photographs that document it. Keywords: Holocaust, digital archives, education, document mapping Published Online: 2017/12/13 11:53:53 Object Identifier: 0xc1aa5576 0x00373571 Rights:https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/
