About the JCI Archive

The JCI Research Archive documents the scholarly, educational, and public activities of the Joseph Carlebach Institute and its founder, Prof. Dr. Miriam Gillis-Carlebach. The Archive preserves a rich body of materials reflecting the Institute's contributions to German-Jewish historical research, Holocaust remembrance, intercultural dialogue, academic exchange, and the preservation of the legacy of Rabbi Dr. Joseph Z. Carlebach and the Hamburg Jewish community. The collections encompass published works, personal papers, personal and family correspondence, manuscripts, institutional records, press coverage, photographs, audiovisual materials, and related archival resources.

The principal body of the JCI Archive is preserved at the Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People in Jerusalem, ensuring long-term preservation and scholarly accessibility. Complementary holdings remain at the Joseph Carlebach Institute, including research files, library materials, digital resources, and media documentation supporting the Institute's ongoing educational and archival work. The collection is currently being cataloged to provide researchers with a comprehensive overview of its holdings. A substantial portion of the photographic and textual records has been digitized and is available through the JCI Digital Archive.
