Subject: [ha-Safran] The JTS Library Receives Major Grant from the Andrew W. 
Mellon Foundation for Jewish Ethnomusicology archive


The Library of The Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS) has received a $175,300 
Cataloging Hidden Special Collections and 
Archives grant from The Andrew W. 
Mellon Foundation, through a program administered by the Council on Library 
Resources (CLIR). The grant will make the archives of Dr. Johanna Spector-a 
major repository of rare materials related to the dwindling Jewish communities 
of Africa, the Middle East, and Asia-available for research and to the public 
for the first time. The collection will now be cataloged for use, and rehoused 
in order to prevent deterioration of its materials.

Dr. Spector (1915-2008) was a professor of Ethnomusicology at JTS, and a 
world-renowned scholar in that field, author of books and articles, lecturer, 
and producer of documentary films. Her collection includes the cultural 
treasures of the nearly extinct Jewish populations of India, Yemen, Azerbaijan, 
Egypt, and Armenia, as well as of the Samaritan people, offering a window into 
the life of these groups in situ before their dispersal from their native lands.

"The Spector Archives offer a fascinating exploration of non-Western Jewish 
religious and communal traditions that developed and persisted over 2,000 
years," said Naomi Steinberger, director of Library Services at JTS. "These 
materials are of immense value for a wide range of researchers studying 
ethnography, history, anthropology, and music. We are grateful to the Mellon 
Foundation and CLIR for providing the resources to make this extraordinary 
collection available to scholars, students, and the general public."

Home to more than 400,000 volumes and more than 400 archival collections, The 
Library of The Jewish Theological Seminary contains the largest and most 
extensive collection of Hebraic and Judaic material in the Western Hemisphere. 
The Library serves the students and faculty of JTS, and scholars and 
researchers around the world.

CLIR is an independent, nonprofit organization that forges strategies to 
enhance research, teaching, and learning environments in collaboration with 
libraries, cultural institutions, and communities of higher learning.
