[ha-Safran] Archivists at local Jewish historical societies

[Amalia S. Levi via Hasafran]

Hi Racheli,

This email raises an important point: engaging archivists from small(er),
local Jewish historical societies.

It's a great topic, and I'd like to remind AJL members that the December
RAS roundtable (scheduled for December 2, 7:30 pm) is dedicated to the
topic of "Archival Material in Synagogue Libraries." We will certainly make
it broader to include archival collections in museums and local historical
societies too.

Furthermore, it will be great to inventory such collections that very often
are 'hidden' (not fully catalogued, and thus not findable in online search
engines). Such collections will be important to document through AJL's new
mapping initiative.

Regards,
Amalia S. Levi
RAS Division President

Subject: [ha-Safran] Archivists at local Jewish historical societies

Dear all,



I am posting for a faculty member. Please respond to him directly (email
below) and forward this note to colleagues at local Jewish historical
societies, if you know any:



For a book I am co-authoring on local Jewish historical societies I am
seeking also to learn about the professional connections of the employees
of those groups. There is no national organization bringing together local
Jewish historical societies. Societies that also are connected to museums
have the opportunity to connect professionally through CAJM (Council of
American Jewish Museums.) Archivists of local Jewish historical societies
could connect professionally through AJL.



I am seeking to determine whether any archivists employed by local Jewish
historical societies do belong to AJL and network through it. I would
welcome hearing from you at joel.gereb...@asu.edu.





Thank you,

Rachel
