RE: Nerdy question: Yiddish songbooks

[Reyzl Kalifowicz-Waletzky <reyzl...>]

Your list is very, very short.  Even our library has 3 times as many books. 
 I suggest that you go to YIVO for the complete list - something that no 
one on this list can provide you.  The other libraries are Harvard, Judaica 
Division of the Main NY Public Library, HUC (NY & Cincinnati), JTS, the 
Lincoln Center Library NY Public Library, the Medem Library in Paris.  In 
Israel, the Hebrew University Library, etc.

Subject:  Nerdy question: Yiddish songbooks


Khaverim,

As part of my PhD research, I'm compiling a large inventory (currently
200+ items) of publications of Yiddish songs made during the 20th century.
However, quite a few books I've come across are undated. Where this is the
case, I've taken the approximate date given on library records, or guessed
from the content, but I'd be grateful if anyone could help me with
accurate dates. (I've appended below a current list of undated items.)

I would also of course be interested if anyone in the NYC area has any
unusual publications (ie unlikely to be in libraries) of Yiddish songs
which they would be willing to let me see, or if you have been involved at
any time with the publication of songbooks containing Yiddish material.

Thanks,

Abbi Wood
