The Judaica Collection

Author: Eva-Maria Jansson

The Judaica Collection in the National Library consists mainly of manuscripts and printed materials in Hebrew and Yiddish, and to a lesser extent of materials in Ladino, Judaeo-Arabic and other Jewish languages. The collection covers primarily religion, history, culture and languages in their broadest sense. In addition, the collection also includes a smaller collection of pre-1950 publications  (books and periodicals) in Western languages. All the collections are kept in closed stacks and pre-1950 publications can only be ordered for reading room use. Publications in Danish and the remaining post-1950 publications in Western languages belong in other collections within the library.
