Research Software Lab collaborates on new interactive platform for researching historical Jewish migration data

To further map the mechanisms and underlying structures of Jewish migration in Europe, the new project ‘Interactive Geo-Spatial Platform for Modelling Jewish Historical Migration’ has been launched. This project has been awarded a FAIR IT Grant. Professor of Late Antiquity Leonard Rutgers, master’s student Stefan Dingemans and developer Tijmen Baarda (Centre for Digital Humanities) will together shape the new project.

The project will use the already existing Peace Portal, developed by the Research Software Lab; a search portal with large amounts of Jewish epigraphic data, and additional archaeological data.
