Project Information
HBI Scholar in Residence Dr. Adriana Brodsky, St. Mary's College of Maryland, is a historian of Jewish Latin America. She is currently carrying on research focused on Jewish youth in Argentina who were involved in the Zionist movement during the years 1940 - 1976.
Dr. Brodsky has gathered an extensive amount of material from various archives that she will analyze to reconstruct the activities of Jewish youth during the years she is studying. These documents include teaching lessons, newsletters, magazines, minute books, pamphlets, etc. She is seeking an intern to organize the material in a way that allows for research ease, i.e. keywords. The aim is to develop a consistent organizing template that could make it easier to find relevant material across the various types of documents.
