Charles Berlin’s report on the Mishkin Collection, 26 September, 1973

THE MISHKIN COLLECTION

Certainly the most impressive part of the [Mishkin] Collection is the

Periodical section which surpasses in its scope and depth most collections in institutions long collecting in this field. Virtually no relevant journal is missing.

When one adds the Periodicals and scholarly festschriften together, they

include a vast amount of Jewish scholarship … it is these two genres

that the Mishkin Collection has assembled almost in toto.

Komets-’alim le-zekher Leah Stupniker, Jaffa School for Girls; Tel Aviv, 1924/5

Yearbook. The Tenth Anniversary Kallah of Texas Rabbis; Houston, 1936

Scarce ‘festschriften’ (‘jubilee’ or ‘memorial books’) in the Mishkin Collection
