Jewish Federation of St. Louis (St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum)

The St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum will preserve the audiovisual testimonies of St. Louis-based Holocaust survivors, liberators, and other witnesses by digitizing recordings and creating digital images of documents, photographs, and material culture in its collection. Museum staff and project volunteers will establish a digital asset management system to ingest the material and use metadata to connect topics, events, and individuals across artifacts and recordings. As a result of the project, staff, scholars, and researchers will have access to previously inaccessible primary source material on a free and publicly accessible website. Additionally, the project team will incorporate digitized narratives into future exhibitions and museum programming.
