From ancient shards to geospatial maps, a comprehensive new digital hub makes it possible to explore Jerusalem's vibrant heritage, history, and geography. The Ronnie Ellenblum Jerusalem History Knowledge Center is a collaboration of the National Library of Israel, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Israel Antiquities, with support from the Ministry of Science and Technology. It integrates data from these major knowledge centers to showcase the city in innovative new ways. Prof. Gideon Avni, chief archaeologist of the Israel Antiquities Authority and project manager for the IAA in this initiative spoke to KAN reporter Naomi Segal (Image: Hierusalem by Romayne de Hooghe, 1670s.Eran Laor Cartographic Collection, National Library of Israel)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
