Phase 1 of Jewish Pamphlets project now complete
By Vanessa Freedman, on 12 August 2015
Phase 1 of the Uncovering UCL’s Jewish Pamphlet Collections project is now complete. We have catalogued over 4000 pamphlets and carried out a survey to identify which pamphlets need conservation.
The 4000th pamphlet: To the memory of Marion Harry Alexander Spielmann : a brief tribute paid at his funeral : 6th October 1948 / by Ephraim Levine. MOCATTA BOXED PAMPHLETS B 20 SPI
Selected items from the collection will be on display in the Main Library (near the Donaldson Room) from 17th August for 2-3 months. The exhibition includes an account of how one very fragile item is being conserved.
We are now seeking funding for phase 2 of the project, which will include the conservation work identified in the survey, digitisation of significant and fragile items, and additional cataloguing. Watch this space for developments!
