Gesher Galicia Awarded Malcolm Stern Grant 2011 Print E-mail
2011-08-21

Gesher Galicia is proud to announce that the IAJGS awarded our
organization the Rabbi Malcom Stern Grant for 2011 at the recent IAJGS
conference in Washington, D.C.
 
The Malcolm Stern Grant honors Rabbi Malcolm H. Stern and his efforts
to increase the availability of resources for Jewish genealogical
research. The intention of the Grant is to encourage institutions to
pursue projects, activities and acquisitions that provide new or
enhanced resources to benefit Jewish genealogists.
 
This $2,000 award will go towards our  "Cadastral Map and Landowner
Records Project," which began in 2007 and continues to inventory,
acquire and index the information on land records and property maps,
which have genealogical value for Jewish researchers.
 
On behalf of the Gesher Galicia board of directors, and the Gesher
Galicia membership, I would like to thank the IAJGS for this grant to
help us further our research on behalf of all Jewish genealogists.
 
Pamela Weisberger
President, Gesher Galicia
