I would be interested in doing an oral history project on Beigeleisen. This
could be a very good presentation for next conference.

Subject: Re: [ha-Safran] Biegeleisen Books-Oral History We have a small
archive of booksellers' correspondence from the 30s-50s
(https://clio.columbia.edu/catalog/10723259 - it was literally processed this
spring, so I have an inventory list), and it's something I'm very interested in
as well. It would be an incredible student project to do a Biegeleisen history
- I'm going to see if there is anyone in the area interested. Perhaps a
working group? Michelle On Tue, Jun 27, 2017 at 2:25 PM, Rachel

Thank you so much for posting it, Gail! The idea of creating a digital
archive for Jewish bookstores came up in the Selling Jewish Books panel (thank
you for organizing it, Michelle Chesner!) during the conference (again,
thank-you to the organizing committee, it was remarkable!). The idea crossed
my mind a few months ago when I cleaned up my office and I had a draft email
ready to go with the following points (see below); Arthur Kiron had similar
thoughts. It will be nice to have a few articles on Jewish bookstores inJudaica
Librarianship (one essay will be published in JL 19), but a digital archive
that all of us can contribute to will make a beautiful collaborative project
that may also evolve into a grant proposal on behalf of AJL to include Jewish
publishing houses. Here’s what I had in that draft note: · The work
of Michael Winship (U of Texas in Austin) on American bookstores ·
Highland, Kristen Doyle. 2016. "In the Bookstore: The Houses of Appleton and
Book Cultures in Antebellum New York City." Book History 19 (1): 214-255. ·

Subject: [ha-Safran] Biegeleisen Books-Oral History While in NY, Galina and I
visited Biegeleisen Books in Brooklyn. We had the chance to meet Aaron
Biegeleisen (the nephew) and Mr. Biegeleisen (the senior-who just celebrated
his 90th birthday). We enjoyed listening to the stories he told about how his
grandfather came to this country and set up the business in the early 1900s.
They even have a file of letters, invoices and other ephemera dealing with the
store that dates back to the “early days”. It would be wonderful if someone in
NY could take senior Biegeleisen’s oral history and video it. The firm has
been such a part of the Judaica book scene, it would be a shame to miss this
opportunity. We did mention to both of the Biegeleisens that it would be a
wonderful thing to have done. I’m am hoping someone will like the idea and do
it. Maybe the NY Jewish Historical Society or some other organization-even a
senior high school project. It would be wonderful to have. Just a
thought-Gail
