• European concerns with Cultural Diversity. • European identity • Cultural and religious minorities in Europe today
Jewish Cultural Heritage as part of the European heritage where Europe may act as a locus to probe these issues that are at the epicenter of the debate on European identity.

1. What are Jewish cultural heritage resources? Representing 1,000 years of Jewish, European life, Jewish cultural heritage repositories include Judaica artefacts, art works, literature, manuscripts, musical and liturgical resources, films and video, genealogies, monuments, and historical Jewish buildings.
European Association for Jewish Culture (AEJC) – Digital Heritage, UK
2. Where are they located? Resources are located across over more than 30 European countries, and are based in Jewish museums, libraries and archives with additional resources located in universities and cultural centres across Europe.
European Association for Jewish Culture (AEJC) – Digital Heritage, UK
3. How will the collections be mapped?Once the initial survey results have been analysed, resources will be entered into the MICHAEL pan-European Portal for cultural heritage. The Jewish collections will function as an additional, dedicated workspace that unites, in this instance Jewish Cultural Heritage under the aegis of a European umbrella.
European Association for Jewish Culture (AEJC) – Digital Heritage, UK
4. Why do collections need to be digitised?The comprehensive repository for Jewish Cultural Heritage, as a European expression of Jewish cultural heritage would provide a critical mass of resources that could be made directly accessible both to the Jewish community, as well as to any one interested in accessing the Jewish Thematic Portal, from anywhere in the world.
