Four thousand phonograph records documenting 60 years of spoken and musical Jewish artistry have been given to Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts by the widow of a man who amassed what is thought to be the world’s largest collection of such memorabilia. Mrs. Helen H. Stambler, the donor, was the wife of Benedict Stambler, founder of the Collectors Record Guild, who concentrated on his collection of Jewish music during the last 20 years of his life. The donation, to be known as the Benedict Stambler Archive of Recorded Jewish Music, will be housed at Lincoln Center’s Rodgers and Hammerstein Archives of Recorded Sound.
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.
