Inquiry Guidelines

If you identify collections in the online catalog that are of interest you but which have not yet been digitized, and you are unable to visit the Institute, you are welcome to send inquiries by e-mail to lbaeck@lbi.cjh.org or by regular mail to:
Leo Baeck Institute
15 West 16th Street
New York, NY 10011

A librarian or archivist can provide further information about the contents of the collection or photocopy the materials for you. Remember the following points when making an inquiry:

  • Include complete information on family tree or town of origin so that we can understand your request.
  • Ask specific questions and keep them simple.
  • Please be patient. Average time to respond to inquiries is 4-6 weeks (this includes e-mail inquiries).

Standard reproduction charges apply to this service. For more information about reproduction policies and fees, please click here.
