Joy Ruth YOUNG
Housing : 1 box Period: 1985 -1988
The late Joy Ruth Young, a librarian for many years at the Fisher Library, University of Sydney, indexed, edited and typed the first edition of the Bibliography of Australian Judaica (compiled by Serge Liberman) over an intense period of two years. Her collection contains notes and drafts for the first edition and material for the second edition, which was edited by Laura Gallou. The second edition did not include the periodical section. The PDF version of PERIODICAL Publications FROM THE Australian JEWISH COMMUNITY, 6th edition (Sydney, Archive of Australian Judaica, University of Sydney Library, 2008), was first published in 1986, with 200 copies being printed. It has been updated to February 2008.
The late Nancy Keesing financed the Bibliography of Australian Judaica. Serge Liberman is currently working on integrating another two hundred pages of entries into a third edition, which will be published "online" on Aura Lipski's website Jewishaustralia.com. Since 1991, the number of bibliographical entries has doubled. The new edition will include a number of biographies and books on Australian Jewish history.
