The Jewish National and University Library (JNUL) is happy to announce a further update and revision of its David and Fela Shapell Family Ketubbot Digitization Project. The ketubbot registry has been expanded with images and bibliographic data from five additional collections: The Library of Congress, Yale University Library, the Ein Harod Museum of Art, the "Khan" Museum & Archives, Hadera and the Lehmann Family Collection. Several additional collections in Israel, Italy and the United States have already agreed to participate in the project whose goal is to provide a world wide digital repository of ketubbot for the use of historians, genealogists and art historians. The project site has also undergone a major revision and the primary geographic navigation tool has been enhanced with thumbnail images of each ketubba. For the benefit of those accessing the site via slower dialup modems, a text-based index is also provided.
