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.

Re: [ha-Safran] Biegeleisen Books-Oral History

[Rachel Leket-Mor]

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 in Judaica 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.

* Hagit Cohen's book (2005) At the bookseller's shop: the Jewish book 
trade in Eastern Europe at the end of the nineteenth century

* The Book Shook records (Magnes Museum), OCLC #227005467

* Weiss Family papers, OCLC #861796256

* Books Merkaz (Seattle, WA),

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

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?

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 in Judaica 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.
• Hagit Cohen’s book (2005) At the bookseller's shop: the Jewish book 
trade in Eastern Europe at the end of the nineteenth century
• The Book Shook records (Magnes Museum), OCLC #227005467
• Weiss Family papers, OCLC #861796256

[ha-Safran] Biegeleisen Books-Oral History

[Shirazi, Gail]

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

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.
