The challenges of reconstructing cultural heritage: An international digital collaboration

---

The digitization of the Freimann Collection, unique works belonging to the Wissenschaft des Judentums
(Academic Study of Judaism), was a collaborative, international initiative to virtually reconstruct a cultural
Jewish heritage collection that suffered losses during World War II. These works comprised the first
engagement with pre-modern Jewish religious texts using modern research methods of academia. Building
off a pre-war published catalog, the project brought together remnants of the original library collection in
Germany and collections that were gathered in one of the main exile locations of German-speaking Jews in
the United States. The freely accessible texts ensure the enhancement of scholarship by providing longterm
discovery to an unlimited audience. Digitization and virtual reconstruction are not only crucial from a
digital preservation standpoint, but also allow researchers to envision the works in the context of their
intellectual and historical significance. The project also generated models for international collaboration and
large-scale digitization workflows.
