Large collection of [62] volumes and booklets of the renowned Yiddishist journal YIVO-Bleter , which began publication in Vilna and continued in the United States. 1931-1966. Yiddish. With facsimiles.
Renowned scholars contributed to this important journal, which included studies in many and wide-ranging topics, most in the field of bibliography and European Jewish history. Some of the researchers are considered unique in their fields even today, hence the importance of this journal has grown even more. The journal is considered rare and uncommon, most certainly a large set like this collection.
Issues from 1931 (all the first issues) through 1958 in almost complete succession (there are apparently some individual issues missing). Two additional booklets are included from later years – 1962 and 1966.
Several books published by YIVO are also included:
