Dear Jewish Studies Communities,
The Penn Libraries' *Gershwind-Bennett Isaac Leeser Digital Repository*,
featuring access to the personal papers and publications of Isaac
Leeser, widely regarded as the foremost American Jewish leader in
antebellum America, has moved to a new URL:
http://leeser.library.upenn.edu/
The site has been developed as an international partnership over the
course of seven years and thanks are due to a number of people,
families, foundations and institutions, whose names and work are fully
acknowledged on the site:
http://leeser.library.upenn.edu/ilproject.php
The Leeser site is the first of what we hope will be a continuing number
of digital initiatives as part of our *
J**esselson-Kaplan American Genizah Project*:
http://leeser.library.upenn.edu/agproject.php .
The Jesselson-Kaplan American Genizah Project, founded in 2006, is an
international initiative to integrate digital technologies into the way
we study early American Jewry. Its primary goal is to create an open
access digital repository or "genizah" of physically dispersed primary
sources that document the development of Jewish life in the western
hemisphere from the 16th-19th centuries.
We welcome your feedback as the site continues to evolve.
Thanks,
Arthur
