The YIVO in cooperation with the Vilnius University and Martynas Mažvydas National Library of Lithuania invite submissions for the YIVO 100th Anniversary Conference, October 19-21, 2025. The organizers invite scholars at all stages of their careers to explore the contributions of YIVO to Jewish scholarship, culture, education, and heritage; the role of YIVO’s scholars and supporters in social and cultural networks; and their relationship with non-Jewish academic and government institutions. Discussions of YIVO’s symbolic role both historically and in present-day Vilnius as well as reflections on YIVO’s historical impact, its legacy in contemporary Jewish studies, and its possible role as a model for approaches to preserving and promoting Jewish heritage globally are welcome.
Deadline for submissions: May 5, 2025 | DETAILS
