We would like to share that the JTS COVID-19 Digital Archive is now live<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://digitalcollections.jtsa.edu/islandora/object/jts*3A657127*overlay-context=user/10706__;JSM!!KGKeukY!hq9BbrSMpLktjhnCbtdKNsgRfQcSCx0aakwz7Be4ATkMJEVgAlIbijJIbCa3g20dm4MuLibmdJVyRIs$ > on our Library’s Digital Collections page! We continue to invite new submissions through our Google form<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://forms.gle/RcA1Zp1ZvtftzYJz5__;!!KGKeukY!hq9BbrSMpLktjhnCbtdKNsgRfQcSCx0aakwz7Be4ATkMJEVgAlIbijJIbCa3g20dm4MuLibmVscgmgw$ > or through covidarch...@jtsa.edu<mailto:covidarch...@jtsa.edu>.
Our collecting focus is the Conservative Jewish movement in North America, which includes personal contributions from JTS students, faculty, and alumni; JTS communications and institutional records; and the records of our affiliate institutions including Camp Ramah, the Rabbinical Assembly, and the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. We are also actively collecting websites<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://archive-it.org/organizations/1839__;!!KGKeukY!hq9BbrSMpLktjhnCbtdKNsgRfQcSCx0aakwz7Be4ATkMJEVgAlIbijJIbCa3g20dm4MuLibmJwz3D1k$ > related to USCJ-affiliated synagogues, JTS, and our affiliates. We have recently partnered with a project called Collecting These Times: American Jewish Experiences of the Pandemic, which includes a web portal<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://collectingthesetimes.org/s/collecting-these-times/page/home__;!!KGKeukY!hq9BbrSMpLktjhnCbtdKNsgRfQcSCx0aakwz7Be4ATkMJEVgAlIbijJIbCa3g20dm4MuLibmF7yGxZI$ > that aggregates dozens of collections similar to our own, as well as an oral history collecting project<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.cajm.net/new-page-2__;!!KGKeukY!hq9BbrSMpLktjhnCbtdKNsgRfQcSCx0aakwz7Be4ATkMJEVgAlIbijJIbCa3g20dm4MuLibmG41x9pY$ >. We are currently working to migrate our collection to the web portal, and to begin conducting interviews with individuals affiliated with Conservative Judaism. Please be in touch with any questions or feedback!
