Remote Research Sessions

The YIVO Institute for Jewish Research offers remote research sessions with a YIVO archivist. Researchers have the opportunity to meet with a YIVO archivist to develop research plans for their projects.

You can make appointments at this link. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to reference@yivo.org.

Sessions will typically be available during business hours (ET) on Thursdays. Please note that this is a pilot project, so your patience is appreciated. We ask that you book only one session to begin with. If more time is needed, the reference archivist will arrange for next steps or for a follow-up appointment.

Research Assistants

The YIVO Institute is pleased to offer research assistance for projects which are beyond the capacity of what we can do free of charge. Patrons will work with the YIVO Reference team to create a research plan, which will then be carried out by skilled research assistants. This service will be offered at a rate of USD $50 per hour.

To request research assistance, please fill out this form.

You can email reference@yivo.org with any questions or concerns.
