Charles Berlin’s report on the Mishkin Collection, 26 September, 1973
THE MISHKIN COLLECTION
Certainly the most impressive part of the [Mishkin] Collection is the
Periodical section which surpasses in its scope and depth most collections in institutions long collecting in this field. Virtually no relevant journal is missing.
When one adds the Periodicals and scholarly festschriften together, they
include a vast amount of Jewish scholarship … it is these two genres
that the Mishkin Collection has assembled almost in toto.
Komets-’alim le-zekher Leah Stupniker, Jaffa School for Girls; Tel Aviv, 1924/5
Yearbook. The Tenth Anniversary Kallah of Texas Rabbis; Houston, 1936
