[6] For now, the Index includes more than 550 thousand images and it is constantly growing due to the Center's own research trips [7] and due to collaboration with other research institutions.
Recently, Levin has launched another project entitled Holocaust Memorial Monuments in collaboration with the Sue and Leonard Miller Center for Contemporary Judaic Studies, University of Miami. The project aims "to collect and preserve digital documentation about Holocaust memorial monuments, including standardized mapping, photography, description, and historical research." [8] [9]
