JTA: The Global News Service of the Jewish People today opened its digital archive containing some 250,000 articles covering Jewish news around the world, 1923-present. This is an essential resource for any student of modern Jewish life. JTA closely tracked antisemitism at home and abroad, and played an especially important role in documenting the Holocaust as it was taking place. The Shoah looks entirely different on the pages of JTA than in the New York Times. In addition, JTA employed secret sources behind the iron curtain, and closely covered the story of Soviet Jews. It also maintained regular correspondents in Israel. Of course, JTA is especially valuable to students of American Jewish history, preserving stories of major and minor events throughout the country. An article on the new JTA Archive is available here: http://www.jta.org/news/article/2011/05/04/3087568/jta-launches-online-archive-containing-quarter-million-articles. The article references a YouTube video that may be found online athttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v3DyB5I5wiL41A&feature3Dyoutu.be The JTA archive itself is available at: http://archive.jta.org/ I would be glad to have comments on this archive from scholars who use it. They can be sent to me at "sa...@brandeis.edu". Jonathan D.
