Minsky Jewish Heritage Video Collection |
The Minsky Jewish Heritage Video Collection is part of Fogler
Library's media collection, thanks to a gift from the Minsky Judaic Studies Fund, supported by the families of Norman Minsky and Leonard and Renee Minsky of Bangor. Faculty
member Laura Lindenfeld submitted the grant to the New York-based Charles H. Revson
Foundation, which required matching funds from local donors. The collection is
one of only two in Maine (the other is at the Jewish Federation of Southern
Maine) and will serve as an important state resource
in furthering the
understanding and knowledge of Judaism and Jewish life, history, and culture.
CONTENT
The Minsky Jewish Heritage Video Collection is listed in the online URSUS catalog and housed in the Media Resource Center on the second floor of Fogler Library. It comprises nearly 200 titles, including feature films, children's programs, foreign and Yiddish classics, television programs, and documentaries. Also, several educational guides are available for use in courses or group study settings.
