Dear Safranim, The National Library of Israel is pleased to launch an initial version of the "Mapping European Jewish Libraries<http://web.nli.org.il/sites/NLI/English/infochannels/Library/European-Libraries/Pages/default.aspx>" database, which brings together information about Jewish libraries' holdings in Europe into a single searchable platform. There are collections of Jewish materials in many different institutions across Europe: libraries of Jewish organizations and communities, libraries of Christian institutions, national and public libraries and academic libraries, and this is the first time they can be referenced from one place . The library records can be retrieved by their names, addresses, type of institution and material types in their collections - manuscripts and incunabula, modern books and periodicals, and non-print media.
This is a prototype that we would like to extend, the database currently includes approximately 200 libraries, and we encourage users to search the database and update us regarding any other libraries with significant Jewish collections worldwide that should be included (a form to add a library can be found here<http://web.nli.org.il/sites/NLI/English/infochannels/Library/European-Libraries/Pages/report-missing-library.aspx>). The Mapping European Jewish Libraries project was generously funded by the Rothschild Foundation (Hanadiv) Europe.
