The Enhanced “International Research Portal” for Records Related to Nazi-Era Cultural Property project (IRP2) is a collaborative project working with archival, museum, and technical experts to create a linked database to facilitate data identification, analysis, and visualization of looted Holocaust-era information located on the Portal, a collaboration of 18 national and other archival institutions with collections distributed over multiple sites.
The goal is to use both federated and graph-database search technologies to conduct automated searches across the Portal to retrieve and consolidate information on individuals, organizations, and cultural objects related to Nazi-looted cultural assets.
Beneficiaries include Holocaust victims and heirs, investigators, scholars, archival and museum professional, lawyers, genealogists, and interested members of the general public.
