(16) Bearing Witness: The National Library's Archive of October 7

Hana Cooper, a digital selections collector for the National Library of Israel, collects online materials related to October 7 and the ensuing war for the massive "Bearing Witness" project. While the library has always collected material on historical events, this is the first time it became actively involved from the start. We learn from Hana the ethical and logistical challenges of collecting, sorting and ensuring access to the vast amounts of material in both Israel and the Diaspora. All of us can get involved by finding and submitting materials that document, memorialize or preserve the events of October 7 and their aftermath.  The library recently commended Hana for her work on this project.  To learn more about the project and submit materials, go to the National Library website.
