â€˜Mapping Jewish London' is AIM25â€™s contribution to the pan-European Yerusha project that will enable researchers to cross-search online catalogues of archive collections relating to the history of Jewish people, organisations, culture or events, and is funded by the Rothschild Foundation Hanadiv Europe. AIM25, focused on London, is a charity that promotes access to the capitalâ€™s archives and as a consequence of Mapping Jewish London it has uncovered more than 800 relevant collections that will shine light on Jewish archival heritage held in no less than 45 of Londonâ€™s archives, libraries and museums.

Howard Falksohn is the Archivist at the Wiener Holocaust Library, which became one of the project's largest contributor of descriptions. Howard talks with Rachel about the importance of AIM25, the appeal and importance of being involved in this leg of Yerusha project work, and what the next immediate steps will be for the Library in this post-Covid world.
