Should we preserve, research, and display only precious works of art, rare manuscripts, and “officially” printed books in the fields that concern us? During the annual Feinstein Lecture, Dr. Shalom Sabar will present the case for treating ephemera in general and Jewish ephemera in particular as invaluable resources for exploring and learning our past and present cultures, and a most enjoyable personal hobby. Shalom Sabar is Professor Emeritus of Jewish Art and Folklore at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His research and publications concentrate on the history of Jewish art, ceremonies and rituals, objects in the life and year cycles, visual folklore, and material culture of Jewish communities in Christian Europe and the Islamic East. He has published more than 230 essays and several books on these topics. His latest book is The Sarajevo Haggadah: History and Art (2018), issued by the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the codex is kept. He is also a collector of Jewish folk objects and Israeli ephemera and guides traveling seminars to study Jewish communities and monuments in many countries in Europe, Central Asia, North Africa, and India.

Lectures on Judaic bibliography and librarianship were delivered at the annual conferences from 1996-2010. The FJC is no longer active, but it left AJL with monies to continue these lectures. The Feinstein Lecture resumed at the 2019 AJL Conference and will continue to encourage and inspire Judaica librarians at future conferences.

The preservation of knowledge has been overlooked as a vital function for society, allocated to libraries and archives for the past three millennia. Mr. Ovenden will highlight the role of librarians and archivists in delivering this mission, of increased importance in an era when facts and truth have become increasingly disputed, to the detriment of open societies, democracy, and the maintenance of communities. Richard Ovenden has been Bodley’s Librarian since 2014. Prior to that he held positions at Durham University Library, the House of Lords Library, the National Library of Scotland, and the University of Edinburgh. He moved to the Bodleian in 2003 as Keeper of Special Collections, becoming Deputy Librarian in 2011. He was educated at the University of Durham and University College London, and holds a Professorial Fellowship at Balliol College, Oxford. He is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, the Royal Society of Arts, and a Member of the American Philosophical Society. He was made OBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours 2019. Richard serves as Treasurer of the Consortium of European Research Libraries, as President of the Digital Preservation Coalition, and as a member of the Board of the Council on Library and Information Resources (in Washington DC). He is a member of the Grolier Club (New York) and the Roxburghe Club.
