The Center for Jewish History in New York launched CJH Digital Collections today, an online multimedia catalog of materials documenting Jewish culture and history from across the globe. The catalog, available on the Web at http://digital.cjh.org/, currently contains more than 13,000 unique images, 200 archival finding aids and 40 audio files, most of which are available to the general web public, and is continuing to grow rapidly as the Center and its five Partners continue to take advantage of the benefits that digitization can offer.
Contained within the initial catalog are diverse and eclectic digital materials that represent the unique strengths of each of the Center's five Partners. Examples range from the American Sephardi Federation's collection of French engravings, to the American Jewish Historical Society's Lower East Side Photograph Collection, to the Leo Baeck Institute's Collection of German Decrees from the 16th and 17th Century, to the YIVO Institute's rare Hebrew and Yiddish books and children's books, to the Yeshiva University Museum's Abe Grubère collection of fashion designs from the 1940's and 1950's.
