The Wimberly Library, in the heart of the Boca Raton campus of Florida Atlantic University, houses one of the largest Judaica libraries in the State of Florida. The Collections were named in 1989 in honor of Molly S. Fraiburg, who advocated and supported the development of Judaica collections from the University's earliest days and whose foresight helped to establish the presence of these major collections for the study of Jewish culture and history here in the geographic center of what has become the second largest Jewish population in the United States. Further, the Collections are a major research resource for the Raddock Eminent Scholar Chair for the Study of the Holocaust. These collections feature not only books, but also magazines, videotapes, and artifacts including materials saved from the Holocaust. There are many first editions of rare books, some of which can be found in only a handful of prestigious American libraries.
Some books are unique in Florida.
