1:30pm - 4:00pm: JGSTB Zoom Meeting: "A Guided Tour of the Price Library of Judaica”
With holdings of over 120,000 volumes, and digital collections comprising more than 250,000 pages of content, the Isser and Rae Price Library of Judaica at the University of Florida, is considered the foremost Jewish studies research collection in the southeastern United States.
The Price Library of Judaica was established in 1977 with the purchase from a personal collection of a professor of Jewish history at the Hebrew Theological College in Chicago, Rabbi Leonard C. Mishkin. His personal collection of books, then the largest private library of Judaica in the United States had over 30,000 volumes covering virtually every area of scholarship and in a wide variety of languages.
