Hello safranim, Shalom from Israel. Following many other institutions, we are enlarging our services to those researching their family history. We've recently began to make a small open-stacks collection of genealogical materials, but find some difficulties in the shelving process. We are debating how best to integrate them with other existing subjects, such as history, biographies, memoirs and more. For instance, should collective biographies be shelved with the history of the locality, or in a separate collection? Both options, in this and other cases, have advantages. I would appreciate the possibility to learn from others' experiance in this field.
Thanks, Nachum Zitter Head of reference services National Library of Israel
