The Schwadron collection, begun as a private collection by Avraham Schwadron, who later donated it to the library, and became its curator, in charge of its continuing expansion contains thousands of portraits and autographs. The collection focuses on people of Jewish descent – of all walks of life – scientists, statesmen, rabbis, poets, journalists, etc.

The current project is based on the portrait collection, and we like to focus especially on those people who missed the proliferation of the internet by a year or two (or a few centuries) and simply don’t have free images available online – till now.
