Dear visitor,



Change brings change. The Jewish National and University Library, our home for the last 20 some years, will soon become an independent body and will stop to be an integral part of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The Albert Einstein Archives were founded by the Hebrew University in order to house the heritage of Albert Einstein, bequeathed by Einstein to the Hebrew University in his Last Will and Testament. The Hebrew University had therefore decided to move the Albert Einstein Archives to another location on the same campus. Our new premises are a stone's throw away on the second floor of the Levi Building and we have just moved in! I will keep you updated on ongoing events. See our visitor's page for details. All our activities will continue after the move and you can contact us the same way as before.

At the same time we are taking inventory, a major undertaking never carried out at the Archives since its inception in 1982. We are also making good use of the occasion to systematically update and enhance our database.

Our Spanish book project has been postponed due to the current developments and we will announce status updates as they happen. Some background on this project: The first Spanish version of our illustrated Albert Einstein volume, Detrás de la imagen, was not produced for commercial sale and is therefore not availabe through bookshops. We are preparing a second edition, of course updated and enlarged. Publication is now planned for 2009 and the book will, this time, be regularly sold.

Please note that the first Spanish version is now available for purchase by special arrangement.



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