Plans for the Judaica Collection include making it accessible to the public. Through the Internet and World Wide Web, the Collection could contribute to the online resources available to lesbian and gay Jews. As online technology develops, the Collection could refine its website presentations. Locally, the Collection hopes to organize or co-host lectures, film showings, readings and other events to make its archives known to the public. The Judaica Collection invites lesbian and gay Jews and those who support them to contribute to its development.
Individuals can offer to be interviewed, donate personal collections, and suggest others to contact.
Individuals could volunteer time and skills for research, cataloging, interviewing, transcribing oral histories, translating foreign language documents, developing online and website resources, and organizing archives. Undergraduate and graduate students could serve as interns, with Dr. Big working with their academic programs to individualize their training opportunities. To support these activities, Dr. Big will be soliciting funding for portable tape recorders, a videocam, VCR and video editor, an audio transcriber, a computer and peripheral equipment, research, archiving and cataloging expenses, subscriptions and document acquisition, and staff. Individuals can make financial or in-kind donations earmarked for the Judaica Collection. Dr. Big will be happy to meet to discuss the Collection.
