MagnesMuseum > Collections

In this group of Flickr "sets," The Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life presents online for the first time a wide selection of digitized items from its Western Jewish Americana and Global Jewish Diaspora archival collections.

The decision to give direct access to (at times scantly processed) archival digital files reflects the attempt to integrate digitization technologies and social networking with traditional archival practice, and expands a "minimal processing" approach to collections.

Files are uploaded to these sets on a weekly basis, using the platform already established for the Magnes Jewish Digital Narratives and the software MemoryMiner 2.0beta (which allows to digitally archive each upload).

Comments and social tagging features are open to all Flickr users, and the use of the files (and, of course, of the history and cultures they represent) is encouraged under a
Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License.
