Repositioning Florida's Judaic Library: Increasing Access to Humanities Resources from Florida, Latin America, and the Caribb
Endowment for library staff, acquisitions, public and scholarly outreach activities, and digitization projects related to the Jewish experience in Florida, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
The George A. Smathers Libraries at the University of Florida (UF) requests NEH support of $500,000 to match $1.5 million to be raised in the next four years to endow acquisitions, public and scholarly outreach activities, and collaborative digitization projects related to the Jewish experience in Florida, Latin America, and the Caribbean. With the Price Library of Judaica as its foundation, UF is uniquely qualified to lead a national and international effort to inspire greater study of the Jewish diaspora.The expanded and enhanced Judaica collections and services will be the foundation for the American portal of Florida, Latin American, and Caribbean Jewry, and will emphasize the importance of scholarship, preservation, and access to these exceptional resources.
