Thanks Naomi. This is excellent and very exciting. Will you present on this project at the AJL Conference in 2015? If you haven't planned on it, will you consider presenting in 2016 when we meet in Charleston SC? The College of Charleston library has done incredible work digitizing their Jewish collection and it would be great to hear from you and others about such projects in their institutions.
