Jewish Galicia and Bukovina Bibliography project

The bibliography project undertaken by the Jewish Galicia and Bukovina Organization involves consolidating the records of thousands of essays, books, book chapters, pamphlets, and articles in some ten languages, which relate, in whole or in part, to the Jews of Galicia and Bukovina. The works cover their history, social life, religion, and culture as individuals and as communities, mainly beginning with the annexation of the region by Austria (1772) through the outbreak of World War II (1939).

 The works referenced in the bibliography, along with the tools to access them, provide researchers, students, and the general public with quick access to a first-class knowledge base about Judaism in Galicia and Bukovina, much of which was not previously available through existing databases. The database includes bibliography  data collected from a wide variety of  materials, including:

A.    Approximately 300 journal titles, with some 4,000 volumes. The selected titles constitute the primary, seminal periodicals that discuss material on various subjects in the fields of Jewish history and Jewish culture. They are written mainly in Hebrew, Yiddish, and English.

B.     Hundreds of collections and anthologies of articles, including jubilee and memorial books in honor of historical personalities and collections of articles by specific authors.

C.     Hundreds of research monographs on a variety of subjects.

D.    Memorial books documenting the histories of about 170 communities that were destroyed.
