Preserving Jewish culture with digitization – NYC Conference

I just spent two days in NYC at the Center for Jewish History . Over 125 scholars and librarians from around the world, including Dr. William Miller (Dean of FAU Libraries) and myself, gathered to share our expertise using digital and internet technologies for the study and preservation of Jewish culture and history.
Coordinating such preservation efforts and minimizing duplication is a massive undertaking. The purpose of this conference was to create connections between the various institutions and projects in order to foster communication and partnerships.
