Dear visitor,



Our website has been awarded with the "Best of the Web" distinction for the best educational websites for students. Read more about Shmoop.

Our inventory, a major undertaking never carried out at the Archives since its inception in 1982, is coming along very well. At the same time we are updating our database and improving the metadata.

We are currently preparing a major project that will include the replacement and modernization of our archival managment system. The completion of this project will result in a newly designed website www.alberteinstein.info with greatly expanded holdings, tens of thousends of items that can be displayed as scans and a catalog will that will be updated in real time. We are undertaking this project as a joint venture with our partner organization Einstein Papers Project (EPP) based in Pasadena, California with whom we are also currently sharing a common database. Please read more background information about our ongoing close cooperation with EPP on our EPP page.

In the meantime, we have put up a most fascinating historic background story about the famous 1916 manuscript on the General Theory of Relativy on how it got to the Hebrew University.

As always, if you have suggestions or want to voice your criticism, please feel free to contact me.
