Description: Archives and special collections represent both a reservoir of information and a daunting challenge to scholars everywhere. With unique collections scattered around the world, some visible and some hidden, researchers are often left to connect the dots and begin the arduous task of retracing references to collections found in secondary literature and through formal and informal discussions.

Join the Second Bi-Annual Junior Scholars Workshop participants, archivists, and librarians for a panel discussion on Russian, East European, and Eurasian Jewish Studies archives, special collections, and bibliographical sources. Panelists will highlight collections at New York Public Library, YIVO Archives & Library Collections, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and the University of Illinois Library. All are welcome to participate!
