Italiabooks - About

The three partner institutions contribute different strengths to the project. The Union of Jewish Communities in Italy (UCEI) oversees and manages the project; the National Central Library in Rome (BNCR) provides the digital platform (Biblioteca Digitale) to host the on-line catalogue; and the National Library of Israel (NLI) gives professional support and expertise relating to Hebrew books and the cataloguing process.

The I-TAL-YA Books project is supported by the Rothschild Foundation Hanadiv Europe
to help ensure that Jewish cultural heritage in Italy is sustained for future generations.
