| GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION: | |
| | |
| OVERVIEW OF ORAL HISTORY COLLECTION: | The Oral History Division of the Hebrew University's Institute of Contemporary Jewry conducts interviews within the framework of the Institute's research projects as well as in cooperation with institutions and groups outside the university that are interested in initiating oral history documentation. Since its founding in 1959, the archive has recorded interviews with more than 8,000 individuals in 250 projects on various aspects of contemporary Jewish life and history. Gathering this material directly from those who experienced the relevant events, the Oral History Division preserves and provides access to testimonies that are valuable to a broad spectrum of researchers in contemporary Jewry and related fields.
