JGSGB Library look-up service

In case you missed the item in the October Newsletter, we have put together a list of the reference books and records which are normally available in our Library but which Library volunteers have at home.

If you would like one of the volunteers to do a look-up for you from one of the volumes listed below, please e-mail library-lookups@jgsgb.org.uk and we will arrange for this to be done.

Please ensure that you provide sufficient information to enable the volunteer to do a search, e.g. for a marriage record, specify which record, the name of the person and a date range.

If you believe that you have volumes which are not listed below and might be helpful for researchers, please let us know at library-lookups@jgsgb.org.uk.

JGSGB Specialist Talk – Sun May 8th 2022 2pm – “The Jewish Association for the Protection of Girls, Women and Children” by Dr Martin Walsh

Our next Sunday meeting in the JGSGB Virtual Meeting Programme is a specialist talk by Zoom. • Date: Sunday May 8th 2022 • Time: 14:00 London; 09:00 New York; 16:00 Jerusalem; 15:00 Switzerland • Title: “The Jewish Association for the Protection of Girls, Women and Children” • Speaker: Dr Martin Walsh • Description: Almost all Jewish women entered England through London’s East End, where a cross-section of the poorer and working-class Jewish community resided.
