Help us carry out urgent conservation work on our most important and rare titles

Help us carry out urgent conservation work on some of our irreplaceable Yiddish books and preserve them for generations to come.

With your support, we will identify, catalog, and preserve rare and deteriorating books, pamphlets, and documents from our collection, so they can be saved for posterity and made available to readers around the world.
