The Library Archive is a multilingual research collection which specializes in the history, background and impact of the Holocaust, European Jewish history and Jewish-Christian relations.

The Library Archive includes a full array of media: books, archives, artifacts, audio visuals, maps, microforms, periodicals, photographs, postcards, posters, and subject-file clippings. Materials are searchable by automated and card catalogs.

The Memorial Book Collection is a one-of-a-kind resource in this region. These books commemorate the Jewish presence and victims of a particular location.  Their use as historical documents and genealogical tools makes this collection an invaluable resource.  It is the largest in the Midwest.
