From the Scout Report, Oct. 17 edition: 11. Jewish Encyclopedia.com >http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com >Standing as a testament to the wide ranging contributions of the Jewish >people to world culture and history, this Web site contains the complete >contents of the massive 12-volume Jewish Encyclopedia, originally published >between 1901-1906 by the Funk & Wagnall's Company. Conceived and funded by >the Kopelman Foundation, this compilation is the only free encyclopedia of >Judaica available on the Internet. While the encyclopedia obviously does not >include such topics as the creation of the state of Israel or the Holocaust, >it is a rather fascinating collection that recalls an interesting period in >scholarship, and is a helpful historical document. Visitors can browse by >the encyclopedia by letter, along with viewing a transcription of each entry >and any accompanying images included with each entry. Those who might be >interested in helping compile an updated version of the encyclopedia are >also invited to join the mailing list. [KMG]
