Jewish Studies
The Jewish Studies collections span centuries and continents, documenting the history, culture, and intellectual life of Jewish communities over the course of millenia, and spanning the globe (including the State of Israel and the history of Jews and Erets Yisra'el). The collection includes materials in dozens of languages, one of the largest collections of Judaic manuscripts in the United States, many distinctive archives, and extensive book, database, and periodical holdings.
Columbia is also a viewing site for the Visual History Archive of the Shoah Foundation.

Collection Development
We are dedicated to building and stewarding collections that have the greatest impact on research, teaching, and learning at Columbia. Our collection choices and long-term stewardship plans are made with regard to the advancement of the mission and goals of Columbia University. Our collections are dynamic, responsive, and purposefully developed to realize the value of collections overlooked. Collections are being shaped and continually enriched in ways that advance access to heritage materials representing varied contours of knowledge and diversity of content.
