[ha-Safran] Live coverage of AJL conference in Boston

[Heidi Rabinowitz]

We'll be "live blogging" the AJL conference in Boston via Facebook,
posting pictures and commentary throughout the conference June 18-20,
2018! Maybe we'll even try some Facebook live streaming.


You don't need to have a Facebook account to see it, just go to
www.facebook.com/jewishlibraries.  AJL's Facebook posts automatically
appear on Twitter at www.twitter.com/jewishlibraries, which is also
visible without logging in.


If you'll be in Boston and you'd like to help cover the conference on
Facebook please let me know! Email me at bookoflifepodc...@gmail.com
to inquire.

Thanks!
Heidi Rabinowitz

AJL Member Relations Chair

Subject: [Arcan-l] Launch of Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre Online 
Collections Catalogue

May 29, 2018 — VANCOUVER, B.C.

The Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre (VHEC) is pleased to announce the 
launch of a new online collections website available at collections.vhec.org.

The VHEC stewards Western Canada's largest collection of Holocaust-related 
artefacts, Holocaust testimonies and archival documents. It also holds a 
comprehensive library of books, films, educational resources, as well as rare 
books and special collections. The VHEC acquires, preserves and makes available 
these items as documentary evidence of the Holocaust and its effect on 
individuals, families and society.

Documentation is vital for combatting Holocaust denial and will play an 
increasingly prominent role in the future of Holocaust education. Accordingly, 
the VHEC Collections offers numerous online resources for researchers and 
educators including finding aids, research guides, pedagogical materials and 
digital primary sources.

The VHEC is continually adding records and digitized items to the catalogue.

About the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre:
The VHEC was founded in 1983 by survivors of the Holocaust who wanted to leave 
a legacy to the citizens of British Columbia in the form of an anti-racism 
education centre. Their goal was realized in 1994 in the form of the Vancouver 
Holocaust Education Centre (VHEC) devoted to Holocaust based anti-racism 
education.

The Centre promotes human rights, social justice and genocide awareness through 
education and remembrance of the Holocaust. An internationally recognized 
teaching museum and the leading provider of Holocaust education in British 
Columbia, the VHEC reaches more than 25,000 students and teachers annually. The 
VHEC presents numerous public cultural and commemorative events and publishes a 
newsletter, Zachor. More information is available at vhec.org.
