----------------------- Message requiring your approval ---------------------- From: Zachary Baker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Ha-Safran] Slavic Judaica
Below is a list of Slavic and East European booksellers from whom Stanford buys much of its Judaica. It appears as the appendix to my paper, Slavic Judaica Revisited, included in the Toronto convention proceedings and available online on the AJL website.
Like other libraries, Stanford also maintains exchanges with libraries in Eastern Europe (especially in the former Soviet republics), and acquires much of its Slavica -- including Judaica -- through those channels.
Finally, I would like to draw the attention of Ha-Safran subscribers to a recent issue of the journal Slavic & East European Information Resources (SEEIR), published by Haworth. Vol. 4, no. 2-3 (2003), which I guest-edited. The double issue bears the added title Judaica in the Slavic Realm, Slavica in the Judaic Realm: Repositories, Collections, Projects, Publications. It will also be issued as a book.
Among the bibliographies and bibliographical essays in that issue of SEEIR I would like to mention the following:
"Hebrew Incunabula in the Asiatic Museum of St. Petersburg," by S. M. Iakerson;
"Jewish Book Publishing Today in the Countries of the Former USSR," by Alexander Frenkel;
"Slavic Judaica in the YIVO Library: Acquisitions from 1991-2001," by Nikolai Borodulin;
"From Odessa to Odessa: Russian-Jewish Periodicals of Ukraine," by Vladimir Karasik;
"Bibliographical Projects in Polish-Jewish Studies since 1989," by Stephen D. Corrsin.
The other contributions to SEEIR are:
"The Jewish Archival Survey: Tracing Jewish Records in the Former Soviet Archives," by Marek Web;
"The Creation of a Documentary Collection on the History of Russian Jewry at the Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People," by Benyamin Lukin;
"Microfilming Hebrew Manuscripts in Eastern Europe," by Benjamin Richler;
"Resources on the Genealogy of Eastern European Jews," by Zachary M. Baker
