PEACE: The Portal of Jewish Funerary Culture

Abstract

Jewish funerary culture, despite vast amounts of available data, has yet to benefit from comprehensive analyses. While a great amount of data is digitized and available online, it is nonetheless dispersed on various websites, whose databases are unrelated and incompatible with one another. Other data exists only in printed form, and is even less available. My paper will present a new project that intends to modify this state of affairs: PEACE, standing for Portal of Epigraphy, Archaeology, Conservation and Education on Jewish Funerary Culture.
