What's Happening in the PHAJ Collections

Harry W. Mazal Holocaust Collection

The processing of the Harry W. Mazal Collection is nearing completion! The finding aid follows the most current standards for archival description and is now available online. The digital items in the collection, such as computer discs and hard drives, are currently being copied into the University Libraries' digital preservation system. These will soon be included in the same finding aid, which is linked on the Mazal Holocaust Collection page. The monographs and serials are almost completely cataloged and the items with preservation concerns are undergoing treatment.

Zalman M. Schacter-Shalomi Papers

Thanks in part to an Innovative Seed Grant from 彩民宝典's Office of Research and Innovation and a gift from the Bender Family Foundation, we have digitized and preserved many of the fragile video and audio materials in the Zalman M. Schacter-Shalomi Papers. Thank you to the University Libraries' Media Auxiliary Service team for their notable work on this project.

A generous gift from the Yesod Foundation this year is supporting student work conducting vital copyright research for the audiocassettes in the Shachter-Shalomi papers.

We have also launched a digital exhibit exploring the life and work of Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi and his role in shaping contemporary Judaism.
