Eliyahu Laboratory is the digital humanities laboratory in the Department of Israeli History at the University of Haifa.
The laboratory establishes and maintains research projects and public participation in the fields of Israeli history, Jewish thought and the Bible.
The laboratory’s projects are intended to enable the research community and the general public to preserve, retrieve and share the treasures of Jewish knowledge and culture.
The laboratory specializes mainly in the areas of access to manuscripts and documents and historical mapping of the history of Jewish culture, and is advancing to the next era of digital humanities, the integration of artificial intelligence tools in the humanities.
Following the extensive experience gained in the laboratory, we began to maintain a greenhouse for the promotion of digital projects in all humanities starting in 1962. We offer researchers and research students from all universities, as well as heritage and cultural organizations to use our services, from basic consulting for designing a project in the digital humanities, through the preparation of research plans and grants to accompanying the project and its implementation
