ESSENTIAL YIDDISH BOOKS 1000 Great Works from the Collection of the National Yiddish Book Center INTRODUCTION Zachary M. Baker Stanford University Libraries Two decades have passed since the National Yiddish Book Center assembled its first core collection of Yiddish books for research libraries. The 1970s and 1980s experienced an expansion of Yiddish studies in colleges and universities, and library resources for Yiddish were patchy at best. The Yiddish Book Center’s original core collections, comprising 500 and 1,000 titles each, responded to this need. Though the Yiddish Book Center had collected hundreds of thousands of books by the mid-1980s, the first core collection program was hampered by two major factors: 1. Holdings of many key titles were limited, and they became unavailable once the supply was depleted. 2. The pages of many volumes were often brittle and bindings were sometimes damaged as well. The books’ fragility was a serious hindrance to their use. With the arrival of digital reproduction technology both of these obstacles have been overcome. Thanks to the Steven Spielberg Digital Library it is now possible for the Yiddish Book Center to offer a new and reconfigured core collection, in full confidence that supplies will not run out and that the volumes themselves – which are printed on acid-free paper – will have a shelf life of hundreds of years. The approximately 1,000 carefully selected titles in the new core library were drawn from the National Yiddish Book Center’s continually expanding corpus of digitized texts. In addition, a number of major works were specially digitized for inclusion in this core collection. They are available for purchase both individually and as a single collection. As with the original core collection, bibliographical data for each title is available online, both in the National Yiddish Book Center’s own catalog and via the Research Libraries Information Network (RLIN). 413-256-4900 x196 • I
