Title: Sephardic Studies Digital Library and Museum Specializes in Ladino
Body:
From http://jewishstudies.washington.edu/sephardic-studies/sephardic-studies-digital-library-museum/
Since their expulsion from Spain in 1492, Sephardic Jews have produced a vast literature—religious and secular, philosophical and fictitious, political and poetic—that provide insight into their worldview in their own language, known as Ladino (Judeo-Spanish or Judezmo). Until now, however, the written record of the experiences, anxieties, and aspirations of Sephardic Jews remain dispersed and largely shrouded in mystery.
The Sephardic Studies Digital Library and Museum has collected from members of the local Seattle Sephardic community more than 500 original Ladino books and thousands of documents composed in Ladino as well as other relevant languages, such as Ottoman Turkish, Hebrew and French. Dating between the 16th and mid-20th centuries, the books already comprise one of the largest Ladino libraries in the United States, with more volumes than the Library of Congress or Harvard University. In collaboration with the UW Libraries Digital Initiative Programs and orchestrated by the Sephardic Studies Research Coordinator, Ty Alhadeff, several hundred of these volumes have already been digitized. The first samples of the digital artifacts are available through the University of Washington Libraries Digital Collections.
