Abstract: The Louis Shub Documentation Center at the American Jewish University is a collection of thousands of articles from various newspapers and periodicals covering a range of subjects. Gathered by Dr. Shub, the former library director of the University of Judaism, the collection was used by students to research subjects such as Israeli and Jewish figures, Foreign Policy, Global Jewish Communities, Israel, the Middle East and many other issues and subjects. The importance of this collection is the juxtaposing of articles from major papers with those of small local papers both covering the same event. Language: Materials are in English and Hebrew Administrative Information Access: This collection is open for research with permission from the Ostrow Library staff. Accruals: No further materials are expected for this collection. Conditions of Use Preferred Citation: [Identification of item], Guide to the Louis Shub Documentation Center at the American Jewish University, American Jewish University, Bel-Air, CA 90077. Acquisition Information: Collected by Dr. Shub since 1940 for personal use and for the Ostrow Library Scope and Content The Shub Documentation Center was created by Ostrow Library’s first director, Louis Shub. The collection began as a personal hobby of Dr. Shub when he was with the American Jewish Committee in 1940. Once opened at the University of Judaism, this news archive allowed students to research articles from newspapers and periodicals from the second half of the 20th century. Areas covered are Israel and the Middle East, Global Jewish community life world wide, Foreign Policy, Israeli and Jewish personalities and issues such as church and state. The beauty of this collection is that under any given topic, one is as likely to find an article from a major newspaper next to another article on the same subject from a local community press. All of the thousands of articles were indexed lovingly by hand by Dr. Shub before the widespread use of computers and the internet. Thanks to the generosity of the Shub family, a major portion of this archive has been digitized and is now available to researchers visiting the new Bel and Jack Ostrow Academic Library and the Burton Sperber Community Library. The Documentation Center consists of over 170 drawers and thousands of folders. In 2010, The Ostrow Library digitized these records, and the collection now consists of 20,479 digital files organized in twenty series. Organization: The collection is organized in 20 series, with subseries when needed. 1. 1. Aliyah 2. 2. Authors 3. 3. Begin Sadat 1977 4. 4. Egypt Israel 1978 5. 5. Foreign Policy 6. 6.
