Publications of the Institute of Contemporary Jewry
Academic Chairman: Ezra Mendelsohn
Administrative Director: Avraham Bar Gil
Director of Publications: Moshe Goodman

Background and Objectives:
     The Institute of Contemporary Jewry, a graduate research
institute of the Hebrew University, is divided both regionally and
thematically. The regional division provides training in American
Jewish historiography, publishes research and develops archives of
primary source material. The thematic division deals with the social,
ideological and political development of Zionism and Zionist movements
in Israel and around the world.
     Both divisions publish material by researchers and teachers of
the Institute as well as sponsoring publication of other relevant
materials. These publications include series such as the Study Circle
on World Jewry, edited by Moshe Davis; the Guide to Unpublished
Materials on the Holocaust Period, edited by Yehuda Bauer and Texts
and Studies in American Jewish History, edited by Moshe Davis and
Abraham J. Karp. Books, articles and studies in the various relevant
disciplines are also published.
     The Bibliographical Center in Contemporary Jewry has begun
registering annotated and indexed descriptions of this material on the
ALEPH computer network. This will provide online access and comprise a
significant research and study tool in the field of contemporary
Jewry.

Current status and future plans:
      - Annotated and indexed descriptions of articles, books and
        research published or sponsored by the Institute in
        Contemporary Jewry are being registered via the ALEPH computer
        network.
      - Continuing online registration of Institute publications.
      - Publication of selected bibliographies of relevant material.
