We’re delighted to announce a major milestone for the Leo Baeck Institute London: our digitised pamphlet collection is now available online via DigiBaeck!
Spanning more than 2,400 items, this treasure trove of German-Jewish history and culture covers everything from early Zionist movements and literary works to rare periodicals, biographies, and responses to pivotal moments such as the Holocaust and the Balfour Declaration, and includes works by Heinrich Heine, Martin Buber, Theodor Herzl and Rosa Luxemburg and many more.
You can explore the collection in detail through these resources:
- Finding aid: https://archives.cjh.org/repositories/5/resources/22460
- Main catalogue record: https://links.cjh.org/primo/lbi/CJH_ALEPH005574567
- Individual catalogue records: https://search.cjh.org/primo-explore/search?query=any,contains,lbilon&tab=default_tab&search_scope=LBI&vid=lbi&offset=0
The finding aid is divided into two series: pamphlets with individual titles, and a second series of ephemera. (Please note: due to copyright restrictions, pamphlets published within the last 70 years are not yet available.)
This digitisation project marks a significant step forward in improving access to our holdings, and we extend our heartfelt thanks to our colleagues at LBI New York for their collaboration in making this possible.
