The Hebrew department of the Ukrainian Academy of Science was liquidated as the result of a two year campaign conducted against the department by the Jewish Communists.
Prof. Eli Gallant, who headed the department, was ordered to transfer the department’s archives and library to the Institute of Yiddish Culture at the Academy.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
