Take a peek at our digitised Jewish pamphlets

The digitisation part of the Uncovering UCL’s Jewish Pamphlet Collections project is now well under way. As with all digitisation projects (unless you’re fortunate enough to have funding to digitise an entire collection), selecting items has been a challenge. We have given priority to rare pamphlets which haven’t been digitised by other libraries, and have focused on a few themes, such as Jewish emancipation in England, and how the Jewish community marked royal or national occasions. For more on these themes, see this article by Professor Colin Shindler.

The first images have now been uploaded to our website; the page for the project will be available soon, but in the meantime you can find them by searching for ‘Jewish pamphlets‘.
