LBI Collections in Other Portals

https://neu.aggb-katalog.de/vufind/https://neu.aggb-katalog.de/vufind/Compact Memory
The portal Compact Memory of the Judaica Collection at the University Library of Frankfurt features about 300 Jewish newspapers and journals of German speaking areas of the years 1768–1938. These periodicals represent the complete religious, political, social, literary and academic spectrum of the Jewish community and the “Science of Judaism”, thus constituting a major source for the research on Judaism in the Modern Age. In 2017 the project continued in cooperation with the Leo Baeck Institute and the Center for Jewish History, 60 periodicals were added. In 2018, about 40 additional LBI periodicals were digitized and will be added to Compact Memory .

The European Holocaust Research Infrastructure portal offers access to information on Holocaust-related archival material held in institutions across Europe and beyond and also cross-references the LBI collections.

Europeana
More than 10,000 records of digitized LBI collections are now discoverable on Europeana, an EU-funded cultural heritage portal which brings together the digitized collections of institutions from Europe and other countries. Digitized Judaica collections like the LBI collection were added to Europeana through the Jewish Heritage Network as the Judaica Europeana project ( phase II concluded in 2020). The LBI Archives contributes fully digitized archival collections, memoirs, manuscripts, and genealogical records. The LBI Library features digitized rare books, illustrated books, and periodicals.

Footprints: Jewish Books through Time and Place
Footprints tracks the circulation of printed “Jewish books” (in Hebrew, other Jewish languages, and books in Latin and non-Jewish vernaculars with Judaica contents). Much information about the movement of early printed books exists, but in scattered form: individual copies, catalogs from libraries and booksellers, estate inventories, subscription lists, and other kinds of archival documents. All of these individual pieces of data can connect to each other in order to build up a composite view of the movement of Jewish texts and ideas from place to place and across time. So far LBI has contributed the ownership and acquisition history of 100 Hebrew books to the Footprints project.

Freimann Collection
The Freimann Collection comprises the literature of Science of Judaism (Wissenschaft des Judentums) in European languages and is part of the Judaica Collection at the University Library of Frankfurt. LBI contributed about 1000 digitized books as part of a DFG/NEH project.

German Refugee Rabbis in the United States of America, 1933–1990
The online database “German Refugee Rabbis in the United States 1933–1990” traces the migration paths and careers of German rabbis who fled to the United States from Nazi Germany after 1933. The database explores the refugee rabbinate’s impact on American Judaism, American Jewish communities as well as their travels or returns to post-war Germany. The database provides detailed biographies in an interactive map and references archival resources and library materials in existing digital collections worldwide, including the Leo Baeck Institute. The DFG-project was planned and compiled by Prof. Dr. Cornelia Wilhelm of the University of Munich.

Getty Research Portal
