Dear Safranim, I'm sharing this news with you as a member of the Digital Yiddish Theatre Project: Internet Resource: volume 7 of Zalmen Zylbercweig’s Encyclopedia of the Yiddish Theatre <https://networks.h-net.org/user/login?destination=node/430921> by Joel Berkowitz
The Digital Yiddish Theatre Project (DYTP) is pleased to announce the digital publication of volume 7 of Zalmen Zylbercweig’s *Encyclopedia of the Yiddish Theatre*. The digital publication allows users around the world, for the first time, to browse the volume from the convenience of their computers. The user-friendly interface created by Familiar Studio allows users to read the text onscreen, or to print PDF files of individual entries. The volume can be found on the Digital Yiddish Theatre Website at https://yiddishstage.org/ encyclopedia. Zylbercweig (1894 – 1972) compiled and published the previous six volumes between 1931 and 1969. The seventh volume was all but complete at the time of his death in 1972. The galleys to volume 7 are kept in the archives of the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research in New York. A copy is housed in the Israel Goor Theatre Archives and Museum in Jerusalem. *About the Digital Yiddish Theatre Project* The DYTP was formed in recognition of the linguistic, cultural, and geographic complexity of the Yiddish theatre, and of the ability of emerging digital humanities tools and methodologies to address that complexity. Together, we hope to address the full range of Yiddish theatrical production, from its beginnings to the present day. This site represents the first fruits of our collaboration: a place for us to share and discuss our findings with each other and with a wider public audience of those interested in learning more about the Yiddish stage. Please visit our site at http://www.yiddishstage.org where you can view this and other research resources on Yiddish theater.
