Selected Pages
Material from the collection.
Selected pages and advertisements from original issues show the journal as an intellectual, literary and institutional record.
Archival preservation efforts
Princeton and Yale preserve substantial runs of The Menorah Journal, and other research libraries also hold important collections. Many institutional holdings are partial, with gaps spanning years or decades. The HathiTrust digital record reflects this dispersed preservation history. It draws on copies contributed by a dozen academic institutions rather than a single complete institutional run. With 99 historical issues in original printings spanning 1917–1962 and a public issue-by-issue inventory, our archive in Cincinnati is one of the largest known documented collections of the journal.
The archive gives the Journal’s editors direct access to original material for historical research, citation, preservation, editorial direction and the possible inclusion of historic material in future issues.
The Menorah Journal was published as numbered issues
organized into volumes. In some cases, two numbered issues were
published under one binding. The archive index follows the
journal’s own issue numbering. The historic run comprised
157 numbered issues published from 1915 through 1962.
