Tools & Technologies for Jewish Genealogy

Among the Institute’s major goals is the development of tools and cutting-edge technologies for the work of Jewish family historians and of social scientists in general.

Since its opening in January 2006, the Institute has been active in both of these areas and has produced a series of concrete results. A number of projects are currently in progress and others are planned for the future.
