Jewish Studies Resources

|
The resources supporting Hebrew, Jewish,
and Yiddish studies at The University of Texas at Austin cover a variety
of disciplines including history, art, music, linguistics and literature,
sociology, and government. Published and archival materials supporting
these areas of study are found in almost every unit of the University of Texas Libraries.
For example, the Perry-Castañeda Library offers a sizable collection
of Judaica in Hebrew, Yiddish, and modern languages and the Harry
Ransom Humanities Research Center collection contains early texts,
periodicals, and the papers of Isaac Bashevis Singer.
