Abstract:
A NEH H Challenge Grant application and accompanying face sheet submitted by the University of Florida Library to undertake the acquisition and development of two unique special collections: the Miskin Collection of Judaica and the Ruth M. Baldwin Children's Literature Collection.
Biographical:
"The Library of Judaica was built on the core collection of Rabbi Leonard C. Mishkin of Chicago which, at the time of its acquisition in 1977, was the largest personal library of Judaica and Hebraica in the United States.The UF Libraries received the first National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Challenge Grant awarded to a United States Research Library in order to partially underwrite Rabbi Leonard C. Mishkin’s 40,000 volume library. The NEH Challenge Grant was matched by the first State of Florida Quality Improvement Funds." --the Isser and Rae Price Library of Judaica website
Biographical:
"Ruth Baldwin’s personal collection began with a gift. Her parents, who had been abroad in London, sent a number of nineteenth-century chapbooks to her for her birthday. These treasures sparked a search through garage sales, used book stores, and consignment shops for unique copies of children’s literature.Baldwin met University of Florida professor of English Joy Anderson while giving a lecture on historical children’s literature at LSU. It was then that Anderson was introduced to the vast collection of 35,000 children’s books that Baldwin had acquired over the years and wished to see housed in an academic setting. Soon after Anderson returned to Gainesville, UF administrators met with Baldwin and persuaded her to bring her collection to the University of Florida in 1977."--Baldwin Library history webpage

Project Description Special Collection Acquisitions and Development at the University of Florida Libraries The University of Florida Library, a member of the Association of Research Libraries, seeks a challenge grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to undertake the acquisition and development of two unique special collections; the Mishkin Collection of Judaica and the Ruth M. Baldwin Children' s LLterature Collection. The Mishkin Collection of Judaica In 1973, shortly after the establishment of a Center for Jewish Studies by the Florida Board of Regents at the University of Florida, the University of Florida Library, through the University of Florida Foun -dation Inc., secured a purchase option for the Rabbi Dr. Leonard M. Mishkin Collection of Judaica. Dr Charles Berlin, the Lee M. Freedman Bibliographer in Judaica at Harvard College Library has evaluated the Collection for the Library (see attachment 1). After securing the option, which was signed three days before the outbreak of the Yorn Kippur War, the University developed a campaign to secure funds to build a Center for Jewish Studies building and purchase Mishkin Collection, which of course forms the research basis for the new Center. While the University has succeeded in securing substantial funds restricted to building construction, no private sector funds have been secured for purchasing the Mishkin Collection. Con sequently, the University of Florida, in January, 1977, acted upon the option by negotiating an installment purchase agreement with Rabbi Mishkin calling for two payments in 1977, totalling $75 ,000, to be followed by five annual payments of $25 ,000 each plus interest, bringing the total

PAGE 8

Project Description Page 2 purchase price to $226,250 (see attachment 2) During the past four years, Rabbi Mishkin has continued to add to his extraordinary collection, three quarters of which has been transferred from Chicago to the University of Florida Library with the remaining portion scheduled for shipment in September, 1977. The Center of Jewish Studies is not in itself a department but rather provides a multi-disciplinary approach to the study of Judaism. It is able to draw on the strengths of all relevant departments and services of the University aiming to develop and coordinate many diverse educational disciplines necessary for the comprehensive study of and instruction in Judaica. The Center aspires to contribute to Jewish learning as a whole by significant scholarship in Judaica, effective teaching of University students and participation with the whole University in sharing its resources by providing educational services to the Jewish and non-Jewish community. There are close to 3,000 Jewish students at the University of Florida, and it should be noted that there is no other significant Uni versity level program in Jewish Studies in the southeastern section of the United States. The Center for Jewish Studies at the University of Florida provides services and programs in the following areas: Jewish History, Philosophy, Literature, Bible, Hebrew, Mysticism, Modern Middle East, Seminar on the Holocast, as well as in introduction to Jewish Studies taught twice a year. Last year there were over four hundred and fifty students enrolled in Jewish Studies courses, and in the 1976 Fall quarter two hundred and thirty students were enrolled. At present the Mishkin Collection is held in storage. Pending the receipt of a National Endowment for the Humanities Challenge Grant, the

PAGE 9

Project Description Page 3 University of Florida has committed itself to match an award by providing three quarters of the remaining purchase cost out of non-federal ftmds not oridinarily allocated to the Library, by providing one new professional line to the Library, the first new line to come to the Library in four years (see attachment 3), and three quarters of the cost to renovate 5,000 square feet of Library space so that the collection may be opened. The NEH Challenge Grant will assume an important role in the on-going fund raising program, which is under the control of the University of Florida Foundation Inc. and we feel it will stimulate substantial private sector contributions during the three year grant period. The Ruth M. Baldwin Children's Literature Collection Dr. Ruth M. Baldwin' s collection of Children's Literature originated with a gift of several chapbooks from her parents nearly twenty-five years ago. To this original gift, Dr. Baldwin has added more than a 1,000 volumes a year and formed a library which is now recognized as a major col-lection of children's books printed before 1900 in English and, as far as is known, the second largest collection of American Children's Litera-ture in existence. The Library now contains more than 32,000 volumes. The collection, however, is not simply a book hoard. It is a scholar's working library, forming the research basis for Dr. Baldwin' s courses in the history of children' s literature. An unusual collection development guideline, rejecting the concept of a "precious" children' s book collection, has led to the inclusion of a vast number of common editions actually read by children. Since in the early years books seemed scarce and money more so, I collected anything available to me that was a children's book in English before 1900, and I learned to prefer a copy definitely read and used by children. After all, a real children's book is not one written for children but one used by them as well,

PAGE 10

Project Description Page 4 and if the collector does not prefer worn and frequently tattered volumes he must become resigned to them or else limit his collection to those rare volumes which never fell into a child' s hands. As a teacher this I could not do. Defensively at first, if a choice was to be made I took the unknown and forgotton book rather than the classic, the common edition rather than the limited one. l Consequently, many of the volumes in the library are unique and truly rare in that neither the Library of Congress nor the British Museum although the books were copyrighted, considered them worthy of preservation. But, of course, many first editions of great beauty and literary merit have found their way into the collection, especially the inscribed and labeled copies which tell a great deal about how the books came into the hands of children. The library is largely conposed of books printed during the nineteenth century because few children's books were printed in the eighteenth century and practically none before that time. The holdings in early nineteenthcentury American books are very strong and very rare. The early nineteenth-century English books are equally strong but not as rare in that more col-lectors have worked the area. The collection has never been opened to public use. Dr. Baldwin, who describes herself as a biblio-historian, has realized for years the need to place her collection into the custody of an institutional library, and in January, 1977 she agreed to donate her complete holdings to the University of Florida Library. Several factors contri-buted to Dr. Baldwin's decision to donate her collection to the University of Florida but, without doubt, the strongest factor involved the development of a new type of Children's Literature program by our Department of 1Ruth M. Baldwin, 100 Nineteenth-Century Rhyming Alphabets in English (Southern Illinois University Press, Carbondale, Ill., 1972), p ix.

PAGE 11

Project Description Page 5 English. Under the guidance of Professor Joy Anderson, a well known children' s book author, the program departs from the traditional methods type courses to a study of the literature as a valid literary genre. It is the only program in the United States to treat the subject on multiple levels, involving the teaching of the art and craft of writing for children, a critical awareness of the literature for prospective teachers, the appreciation of it as part of the mainstream of all literature, the historical and scholarly significance of the subject matter, as well as what is perhaps the most important--the application of all these values within the community. The program assumes that the wisdom of our culture is collected in our literature and, therefore, our legacy to the young through literature is of greatest importance. If we have the confidence to grant children respect and dignity, then we must do the same for what they read that transmits our values, and give it the respect it deserves. At present there are nine graduate students working on some aspect of advanced study in children' s literature. Some are involved in creative writing of children' s stories (poems, fantasy, and realistic contemporary fiction); others are researching scholarly theses and dissertations. In the near future there will be an increased emphasis in the study of regional folklore, ethnic stories, collections of songs and games of the South and, eventually, other areas of America. This will undoubtedly lead to the publication of monographs, essays, articles, and books in these inter-related fields. On the undergraduate level, students of children' s literature are going into the community to augment their theoretical study by working in self-initiated programs of creative dramatics, creative writing, introduction of poetry, storytelling, bibliotherapy and other projects of their own design. These projects take them

PAGE 12

Project Description Page 6 to day care centers, elementary and middle schools, nursery schools, pediatric wards in hospitals, mental health clinics, homes for the retarded, as wel l as individual homes The program has during its short history generated considerable interest throughout the country, and several universities are studying the feasibility of initiating similar programs. The Ruth M. Baldwin Children' s Literature Collection will establish a research basis for this unique program at the University of Florida. However, just as Dr. Baldwin considers her collection a working library, the University of Florida Libraries will consider the collection as a beginning rather than as a complete, museum quality library. Essentially, the Library will undertake to search out, purchase, and preserve for scholarly research those children' s books published during the twentieth century in English which ought to be saved. In several ways, the development of a twentieth century children' s literature collection will be difficult. First, books printed during this century have been printed on wood pulp paper and, consequently, deteriorate rapidly. Those printed during the first quarter of this century are already brown and brittle and will need restoration. Second, not as great a variety of twentieth century children' s books found their way into home collections. Instead, they were purchased for school and public library use where they have been systematically disposed of as they became worn out or went out of fashion. Third, the cost of the books has risen dramatically. Fourth, no known collector of twentieth-century children' s books exists. Yet collecting this century' s children' s books in order to study our society is as important as collecting children' s books printed during the nineteenth century, and the University of Florida has committed itself to this task.

PAGE 13

Project Description Page 7 To initiate the development of a twentieth century collection requires a minimum investment of $45,000 during the next three years. The University of Florida has committed non -federal matching funds for this development from funds not ordinarily allocated to the libraries and will match threefourths of cost for rennovating 3 ,000 square feet of librar y space to house the collection. The Library knows that the donation and development of this great collection and the creation of an innovative children' s literature program provides a significant opportunity for public and private sector cooperation. The children' s literature library, which will be opened to all scholars in 1978 for the first time, will be a national resource collection. It will draw scholars in the field from all sections of the United States and England and, eventually, from the entire English speaking world. The Patrons of the Libraries, a newly formed support group affiliated with the University of Florida Foundation, Inc., has committed itself to securing private sector funds to endow both the Mishkin and Baldwin collections, the first organized attempt to raise library funds from the private sector in the history of the University of Florida. A NEH Challenge Grant award will be an important tool in this fund raising program. The University of Florida, however, is committed to both the Center for Jewish Studies, the Children' s Literature program and the support of these research collections. This commitment ensures the continuance of the programs and the collection development beyond the grant period.

l 1 Report on the Mishkin Collection for the University of Florida Library The University of Florida engaged the undersigned as consultant and in that capacity I examined the Judaica Collection of Rabbi Leonard C. Mishkin in Chicago on 17-19 September 1973. The following is ti description of the Mishkin Collection, an evaluation of the Collcetion as the possible basis of a research collection for an academic program in J ewish Studies, and an estimate of its fair market value. 26 September 1973 Charles Berlin Lee M Friedman Bibliographer in Judaica Harvard College Library

A 1. a. Loca t i on The Mishkin Collection is situated in three locations. The main part of the collection~perhaps s an e 70i~is in the apartment o r Rabbi Mishkin at 35 3 0 North Lake S hore Drive, Chicago In addition t o t h e books in the apartment proper{ i .e., s mall study, larg e stud y and closet, hall, living roan), several t housand items are in a storage area in the basement. Appro ximatezy 20% of the Collection is located in the building of the Ida Crown Hebrew Academy[ in Rabbi Mishkin's office, the Academy library, and two s t orage rooms) A p proximatezy lO i of the Collection is in a library-classroom used by Rabbi Mishkin in teaching his classes at the Hebrew Theolcgical Colleg e in Sko kie, a northern suburb of Chic ago. 1. b. Size Rabbi Mishkin has canpiled an inventory (by broad category)with a tctal of some 50,000 item~ A number of factors make it very difficult to estimate the size of the Collection. Chief among these is the fact that most of the Collection in the Crown Academy building is packed in some one hundred cartons and is not available for examination. A further difficulty is the dispersal of the Collection. Especially difficult is +he matter of the crit~ria to be used in any count; the Collection includes many reprints, unbound periodical issues, and ephemera-all of which presumably are included in Rabbi Mi.shkin's count of 50,000 "items". My own esti.mc.te of the size of the Collection would place it nearer to 40,000 items, divided as follows: apartment, 28,000; Academy, 8,000; Skokie, 4 ,ooo. B 2. General Descript i o n The Mishkin Collection concen trates on Jewish history in a very broad sense. It includes reateria l s dealing with the polit ical, soci al, econo m i c and inteil.ectu a l history o f the Jews in the ancien t medieva l a n d m o dern

2. periods and in virtually all geographic areas. Special features include collections of periodicals, festschriften and bibliographies. In addition to Jewish history, the Collection includes materials in many other areas of Jewish Studies, including literature, philosophy, rabbinics, and Biblical studies. While the Collection does include some earlier material, most of its holdings are nineteenth and twentieth century imprints. Approximately half of the materials are in Hebrew or Yiddish, with the rest chiefly in Gennan, English and French, although the Collection includes much material in other languages as well (e.g., Russian, Poli sh, Hungarian, Dutch, Spanish, Swedish, Arabic, Italian). C 3. PeriodicP.ls Of the various components of the Mishkin Collection, the periodicals are probably the single most important feature. The Mishkin Collection includes virtually every major-and most of the minor -periodicals in the area of Jewish history. Practically all are complete, bound, and in good condition. All the major journals of Jewish scholarship published in the last hundred years are there, including the three pillars of the Wissenscha~ des Judentums-Jewish Quarterly Review, Revue des Etudes Juives, and Monatsschrift fUr Geschichte und Wissenschaft des Judentums. These journals are not limited to history in a narrow sense, but range over nearly every area of Jewish studies. The Collection includes virtually all the other significant journals of this type, e.g.: Proceedings of the American Academy for Jewish Research, and the Hebrew Union College Annual; the Hungarian Magyar Zsido Szemle; Jahrbuch der JUdisch-Literarischen Gesellschaft; the Italian Rasse gna Mensile d'Israel; the Israeli Tarbiz and Bar-Ilar. Yearbook; and the British Journal of Jewish Studies. Every journal dealing with the history of the Jews is represented. Included are periodicals that cover all areas of Jewish history, such as the Israeli T siyofi J and Jew~sh Social Studies, as well as the earlier Ha-tsofeh Lc-hokh:nat Yisracl and the pioneer publications of the ca~ly

contemporary Jewish history (Bi-tef'utsot Ha-golah; Gesher) ; medicine (Korot; Folksgezunt; Revue de la l>~edicine Hebraique; Medi ca Judaica). The following areas of rabbinic literature are well represented: scientific rabbinic scholarship (Bet Talmud; Sura; Talpiyot; Sinai; Noam; Torah She-be-alpeh; Sha.nah be-shsnah); traditional rabbinic scholarship ( Ha-pardes; Ha-maor; Or Ha.-m.izrah; Kerem Tsiyon); general traditional journals (Ayin Be-ayin; Panim el Pani.m; Bet Yaakov; Moriah; Ture Yeshurun; Petahim; Gevilin); religious students' journal (Deot); the Israeli military rabbinate' s popular Ma.hanayim; a.nd synagogues (Bet Ha-keneset) The Collection also includes many journals in the area of religious thought, e g C onservative Judaism; Proceedings of the (Conservative) Rabbinical Assembly; CCAR (Central Conference of American Rabbis) Journal and CCAR Yearbook (Ref orm); Davke (Buenos Aires; Yiddish philosophical journal). The Collection has most of the Jewish periodicals dealing with Biblical Studies and Palestinian Archaeology, such as Bet Mikra; Erets Yisrael; the Bulletin (Yediot) of the Israel.Exploration Society; and Textus. The Hebrew literary and political journals are well represented in the Collection. The major Hebrew journals published in Palestine-Israel are there, including Mozna.yim; Gilyonot; Orlogin; Sedarim ; Reshumot; Measef; Genazim; Haomer; and the Yearbook of the Journalists Association, as 4. well as most of Leshonenu (philology). Hebrew literary journals published elsewhere are also included, e.g.: Ha-daram (Argentina), Ha-doar, Bitsaron, Ha-ivri; Miklat; and Ha-toren (U.S.A.); and Ha.-tekufah and Ha.olam (Europe). Yiddish literary and political journals are also included in the Collection; e .g., Yidisher Keinfer (annuals only); Zukunft, Kultur un Dertsiung; Zamlunge~;Hemshekh (U.S.A.); Goldene Keyt (Israel); Oyfn Shvel (Mexico); Der Shpigel, Ikuf Bleter and Shriftn (Argentina); Kiyum and Parizer Tsaitshrift (France); Sovetish Heim.land; Shtern; Fannest; Farpost (U.S.S.

5. Numerous al.manachs and similar publications are found in the collection these include sets of Luah Erets Yisrael, a.nd Shenaton Ha-memshalah {Israel); H.avaner Lebn (Cuba); Oystralisher Yiddisher Almanakh (Australia); Annuaire d~s Juifs d'Eygpte et. de Proche Orient (F.gypt); Jevreski Almanach (Yugoslavia); and the American Jewish Year Book. Finally, mention must be made of an extensive collection of bibliographic journals~virtually every periodical published in the area of Jewish bibliog raphy These include such items as: Kiryat Sefer; Hebr~ische Bibliographie; Zeitschrift fUr Hebr~ische Bibliographie; Studies in Bibliography and Book.lore; Studia Rosenthaliana; Soncino BlKtter; Yad La.-kore; Journal of Jewish Bibliography. 4. Festschriften The Mishkin Collection includes virtually every scholarly festschrift publishe d in J ewish Studies. With the exception of festschriften dealing primarily with Old Testament Studies, all festschriften listed i n the Me.rcus-Bilgray Index to Jewish Festschri~en and in the Berlin Index to Festschriften in Jewish Studies are to be found here. The thousands of other "festschriften", i.e., commeoorative publications not of a scholarly nature, are really monographs or historical doc uments, and as such will be discussed below. 5. History This section will describe materials in the Mishkin Collection dealing with Jewish history, exclusive of periodicals a.nd scholarly festschriften. The C ollection includes virtually all the general universal histories cf the Jews by Jewish scholars such as Graetz, Jost, Jawetz, Dubnow, Baron and M ahler, a s well as the collective efforts like The World History of the Jewish People and The J ewish People Past and Present. It also includes most o f the broa d g eneral surveys of particular aspects of Jewish histoi-y such as G o i tcin(l-1edi t e rra.nean society), Agus ( urbo.n life in pre Cru sade Europe), Baron (the Jewish canununity), Caro (economic history),

PAGE 21

6. Ruppin and Tartakower (sociology), and Kaufmann (historiosophy). Period histories are well represented, e.g. Second Commonwealth (Klausner SchUrer, Tcherikover), Roman Empire (Juster, Reinach), Middle Ages (Parkes, Grayzel) and the modern period. (Ellbogen). Of special interest are the various collections of sources, such as the Sifriyat ~ekorot, travellogues and chronicles (e.g., Neubauer's Medieval Jewish Chronicles; numerous editions of all the Hebrew chronicles). The Collection is extremely rich in local Jewish history. It is fair to say that the Collection includes practically every general Jewish history by country and, in addition, a very large number of histories of small.er local carununities. For example, in the case of England, there are the general works by Roth, Tobey, and Friedman; local histories by Levy (Sunderland) and Krausz (Leeds); and congregation~l histories ("Hope Place" in Liverpool Jewry) On Spain, one sees the works of Amador de los Rios, Mendes dos Remedios, Lindo, Kayserling, Jacobs, Baer, Newman, Strauss, Cantera Burgos, Millas Vallicrosa, and Carro Barroja. In the case of France, there are general works (Berman; Gross, Gallia Judaica), local histories (Kahn on Paris; Netter on Metz; Bloch on Hagenau ; Emer'J on Perpignan), and sources (the proceedings of the Paris SaJlhedrin o f 18o7) The same is true of the United States, Germany and tbe rest of Central Europe, Italy, the Balkans (especially Rumania) and Belgium Special. mention should perhaps be made of the good coverage of the East European Jewish communities, with materials primarily in Yiddish, Russian, Polish and Hebrew. Soviet Jewish scholarly works in Russian and Yiddish are especially well represented. Nor is the Collection limited to America and Europe. The Middle East is covered quite well: e.g., Rosanes, Franco and Galante on Turkey, and U>wenstein's contemporary work on the Damascus Affair of 1840; Yaari, Ben-Zevi, Gaon, and especially the hundreds of pamphlets by Grajewsky, on Palestine. North African Jewry is especially well represented by such works as Mann (F.gypt), Strauss (Egypt and Syria), Tcherikover ( F,gypt), Ansky (Algeria), Chouraqui (Morocco), Chalom (Tunisia), and Cohen and Mareno (Libya). In addition to books and monographs of a general or particular nature, the Coll~ction contains many thousa..,ds of ephemeral publications which should probably be considered in many instances as primary source materials. Of special significance are the thousands of "festsch r iften" {n o nscholarl..v ),

PAGE 22

issued in canmemoration of an anniversary of an institution or of a person. In many cases, these are the only historical testimony to these corporate or personal beings and are of the greatest importance as source mate rial. 6 Bibliography and reference The Mishkin Co11ection includes a CC!tl~rehensive collection of bibliographic and reference materials. Most of the major general oibliographies of Hebrew books are there, including Bartolocci, Ben-Jacob, Roest (Rosenthal.iana), Zedne r (British Museum). Included also are many of the major catalogues of Hebrew manuscripts; e g Bernheimer ( Ambrosiana), Cassuto (Vatican), Schwarz (Austria), Loewe (Trinity College), Bibliotheque Nationale. Most of the major subject bibliographies are also there; e g : Freimann,Eichstadt, and Leo Baeck Institute (Gennan J~daica), Milano (Italy} Roth (Eng land), Thomsen (Palestine), and Cazes (Tunisian Jewish literature). In addition, there are h undreds of personal bibliographies. The reference materials include, in addition to the specialized reference works for each area of study, most of the general reference works as well; e.g., Encyclopaedia Judaica, Jewish Encyclopedie; Encyclopedia Castellana, JUdisches Lexi.ken, Algemayne Entsiklopedya (Yiddish) and the Russian J ewish encyclopedia. 7 Rabbinic literature Another area of considerable strength in the Mishkin Collection is that of Rs.bbinic Literature (i.e. Mishnah Talmud, Midrash, Geonica, Jewish Law, Liturgy, '.i"neology and Philosophy). Virtually all the basic reference works are here: the Talmudic Encyclopedia, dictio~aries and lexicons (Jastrow; o+,sar l/iaamare P...9.lakhah; Otsar H!\poskim), collections of textc; (Rigger' s Otsar Ha-baraitot; Lewin's Otsar Ha.geonim; K.asher, Torah Shelem~ histories (Tchernowits, Toldot Ha-halakhah; Ha-levi, Dorot Rishonim; Weiss, Dor Dor Ve-dorshav); textual criticsm (Rabinowitz, DL'l{duke Sofrim). The Collection includes most of the scholarly works in this area as \otell; e.g. : works by Bacher; Buber ; Ginsberg; Mann; Albec k ; J N ------. llf

. I' I I I 8. Epstein; Urba.kh; Heinemann -to name but a few. In addition, the Collection includes many individual works in the areas of religious law, responsa, and homiletics, as well as the standard editions of medieval Jewish philosophic texts, including m~ch material on V.aimonides Special mention should be made of the collection of over five hundred Passover Haggadah rituals, including such items as the Amsterdam 1695, Sulzbach 1712, and Trieste 1864 editions, as well as a number of Kibbuts Haggadot 8. Hebrew and Yiddish Belles-lettres and Philology The Collection includes the basic reference works, dictionaries a..11d general histories (e.g., Klausner, Lachower Zinberg, Erik, Waxman, Shaanan, O r i nowsky) and a small representative collection of individual and co llected works. Special mention should be made of a canprehensive collection of works by and abouts. D Luzzatto, including many of his Italian works on Heb rew philology 9 F.ducation Within Jewish cultural history, special attention has been given to materials o n J ewish education. These include the basic histories (e.g., GUdema.nn, Assaf, Scharfstein, Fishman) as well as more ephemeral publications, such as reports of schools (e.g., report of H~brew Gimnasyah of Cracow; report of Gimnasyah in Lodz; reports of rabbinical schools in Germany, Italy, England and the United States); histories of individual schools (e. g Klapennan on Yeshiva University, Seidman on the Lublin Talmudic Academy) ; and a representative collection of textbooks used in European, American and Israeli schools for general and Jewish studies. 10.

I However, it was indicated that this material was not to be included in the Collection that is for sale. c. Reprints of articles~A special feature of the Mishkin Collection is the thousands of articles that have been extracted or xeroxed from periodicals and books. These have been organized by subject and often placed with books on the same topic. In many cases, they constitute ''books" tbemsel ves, bringing together a series of articles by the same 6uthor origineJ..J..y published in different journals. Most of the articles are probably to be found in their original volumes in the Collection; however, this does provide a certain reference "convenience d Chicagoana The Collection includes numerous publications dealing with the Chicago Jewish community, including archival material. It was indicated that this was not for sale. D 11. The Mishkin Collection as the Foundation of an Academic Jewish Studies Collection The Mishkin Collection provides without question the basis of a research collection for an academic program in Jewish Studies. It is a most remarkable achievement. In the course of a half century, Rabbi ~tishkin has assembled a collection which in its area of concentration"Hokbmat Yisrael" or ''Wissenschaft des Judentums" -is truly cauprehensive. Certainly the most impressive part of the Collection is the Periodical section, which surpasses in its scope and depth most collections in institutions long collecting in this field. Virtual.ly no relevant journal is missing. When one adds the Periodicals and scholarly Festschri~en together,they include a vast amount of Jewish scholarship-perhaps the single most important corpus of such scholarship---and it is these two genres that the Mishkin Collection has assembled almost in toto.Su,plementing these e.re the historical works~books, monographs, pamphlets. Here, too, the Collection

PAGE 25

10. contains the bulk of published scholarship in this field and, together with the Periodicals and Festschriften, co nstitute~a truly magnificent resource for the study of J e wish History in the broadest sense. T h e inclusion in this Collection of a very substantial collection of scholarly works and basic texts in Rabbinic Literature, as well as a collection of basic reference and scholarly works in many other areas of Jewish Studies,adds f'urther dimension to the capability of the Mishkin Collection to serve the needs of instruction and scholarship in many other areas of Jewish Studies in addition to Jewish History. In brief, {he Mishkin Collection does more than provide a basis for a research collection; it is already such a collection. With the acquisition of this Collection, Florida would be catapulted. into the ranks of th~ larger university collections in this field and indeed would surpass t universities with long established programs and collections in Jewish Studies such as Wisconsin, Indiana, Texas and Duke, and ~in many areas~ ,, Brandeis. It would be the major collection of Judaica in the South-East. The acquisition of the Mishkin Collection imposes certain responsibilities upon Florida. It implies a commitment to the development of a substantial progre.?n in J ewish Studies at the University. Only such a program can justify the acquisition of this collectio n which far exceeds the requirements of undergraduate instruction and even of an undergraduate degree program The University also has the responsibility to promptly make this Collection accessible not only to its own students and faculty but to scholars everywhere. Otherwise much valuable material will remain unused and inaccessible to scholars who might benefit from it. This will be no small task, given the present state of the Collection's arrangement and the high degree of bibliographical knowletlgc that the re-organization of the Collection will require, especially in light of the bibliographic "difficulties" likely to be encountered in the cataloguing of much of this material. Finally, th~ University should undcr5tand that a collection such as th!s must be maintained and furthe r developed Uew materials-both new publications as well as older ones-must be acquired. To do this properly will require the services of a full-time bibliographer trained in Jewish Studies ~nd competent in Hebrew and Yiddish, togeth e r l'ri th adequate support staff. Nevertheless, it is not often that n univ~rsity library is presented -_._._.,,___ ____ -_;.-~---I

ll. an o pportunity to establish itself as a major bibliographic resource in an area in which it is developing an t ew program a such an early stage in the program's development. 1 2 r Estil:i.at!ng the Fair l~rket Value of the Mishkin Collection Rabbi ~lishkin has set a price of $200,000 for his Collection. This price is a reasonably accurate reflection of the current market for Judaica. In estimating the value of this Collection on today's market, the following factors should be considered a. Periodicals~The Collection includes several hundred serial titles, most of which are complete runs, are well bound and labelled, and are in good condition. Many of the periodicals are long runs over many years. Some of the large sets like tne REJ, l.UWJ and JQR are available on the market ~these three, for example, for a total of from seven to nine thousand dollars. However, many of the periodicals are simply not to be found The Magyar Zsido Szemle, for example, or the Rassegna Mensile d'Israel are extremely scarce and full sets rarely if ever appear on the market. A price o f three to four thousand dollars each is not unreasonable. Equally important and perhaps even more scarce are the sets of periodicals appearing o v e r shorter time spans and in relatively remote places. These can well canmand prices of several hundred dollars per set. Added to the intrinsic value of each item i s the "added value" accruing fran their already being a ssembled together in one place. The purchaser is, in effect, acquiring the benefit of a half century investment of the ti.me and labor that would ordinarily be required to amass such a collection. It would be reasonable t o set a value of some $75,000 to $100,000 on the Periodical component of the Collection. b Festschriften~The approximately five hundred scholarly festschriften include numerous scarce items, while those that are to be found readily canrnand high prices. ~~ny of the older classic Festschriften are offered today at"prices ranging from fifty to one hundred dollars. Most of ~he

PAGE 27

" ( 12. Festschriften in the Collection can be valued at an average price of at least $20-$ 25. It would be reasonable to set a value of ten to fifteen thousand dollars for this part of the Collection. c. Bibliographies and Reference ----Most of the reference books and bibliographies, especially the catalogues of books and manuscript collections, appeared in very limited editions; due to their immense value as research tools, they are cage=ly sought after and consequently command high prices in today's market. A value of approximately ten to fifteen thousand dollars for this part of the Collection would be reasonable. d. Books, monogr~phs, namphlets~The remaining materials in the Collection would command prices ranging from five dollars to fifty dollars with most of the material likely fall irt the ten to thirty dollar range. In fact, a check of some 170 items in the Collection against a recent bookseller's catalogue of Jewish history shows approximately half' of the items in the $10 tc t29 range, \Ii.th about a thiru in the $5-9 range and the rest in the $30 50 range. If one assumed a minimum of ten thousand items in this category (d.), th~n it can be seen that if there are some 3,000 items valued at. a minimum of $5; 5,000 items at a minimum of $10; perhaps 1,000 itema at $ 20; and some 1,000 items at $30; then, the total value is some $115,000. It should be added that many cf the items in (d.) are scarce; e.g., the numerous Soviet Yiddish works and Russian language Judaica are extremely scarce and fetch prices o f $30 to $75 per item. Of course, many of the monogr~phs and pamphlets are simply not to be found on the _.,_ L is ~ o market. Here, too, the "adc.(1Value" factor be taken into consideration. I\ Thus, it would be reasonable to set a value of at least $100,000 on this part of the Collection. e. Swmnary~In light of the above, a value of $200,000 for the Mishkin Collection is reasonable.
