Last month, the USC Shoah Foundation Institute hosted a meeting convened by the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany.  The meeting brought together delegates from major archives with audio-visual Holocaust testimony holdings; other archives represented included Mémorial de la Shoah, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Yad Vashem–The Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority, and Yale University’s Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies.  The delegates discussed the development of standardized policies for digital preservation and the idea of establishing a globally accessible digital platform that would integrate content from all the archives.
