Scope of Project

By the Numbers

• 100% books digitized (Project goal: 12,500 books)
• 100% archival documents digitized (Project goal: Est. 1.5 million pages)
• 100% images of books and documents available online (Project goal: Est. 4.1 million pages)

The project scope was expanded greatly since its inception and launch in 2014. As the project was discussed and advertised around Lithuania, new repositories were revealed to have materials from YIVO’s original collections before World War II. As careful processing commenced in New York and Lithuania, additional unexpected items were unearthed.
