Description

YIVO grew the holdings of their Theater Museum Collection into a virtual treasure trove of historical information. It grew to include items from Yiddish-language performance that predate the establishment of the Yiddish theater as a modern form, as well as documents spanning a wide geographic range, including North America, Europe, South Africa, South America, and even Cairo, Egypt.
