WORK WITH US

Make Your Vision a Reality

Our work thrives on partnerships and shared ideas. Successful heritage projects need a mix of vision, unique content, tech, and partners eager to make this vision a reality. We invite you to engage with us in one of the following ways, or directly on a unique idea you have in mind.

  • Join the Europeana Network
    If your institution has Jewish content with European relevance, this content meets high standards for content and metadata, and it should be published on this European platform, this network is for you.
  • Join the Jewish Hub for DP.LA
    Started in 2023, this project is the sister project of Judaica Europeana but for the Digital Public Library of America. We’re just getting started and looking for more U.S. Jewish institutions to join.
  • Develop a Project Together
    Participating in the major European funding programs and with unique knowledge of the Moreshet funding program, we can help bring your idea to life, whether it’s brainstorming, proposal writing, or project development.
  • Use Our Services
    Our stack of innovative services for heritage is always evolving, driven by our projects. If you have a need, reach out. We might already have the solution or we can develop one for you.
  • Imagine and Build the Future
    For us, innovation means imagining a better future and working today to make it closer. If you are a forward-thinking organisation, researcher or funder thinking about the future too, we can't wait to talk to you.
