The text of the document is a literary rendering of the famous letter of Giovanni Battista Simonini’s to Augustin Barruel. The original document was apparently submitted to the ‘Special Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs’, to the ‘general on duty’ Aleksey Nikolayevich Potapov (1772-1847), who copied and signed it for the report. It most probably happened between August 1823, when General Potapov was appointed ‘general on duty of the Main Staff of His Majesty’ and July 1826, when ‘Special Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ was liquidated.

The online seminar Towards Digital Research of Russia and Russian Jewry offers to discuss the use of Digital Humanities in these fields from various points of view: achievements, challenges and development prospects.

Established in 1939, it holds the archives of hundreds of Jewish communities, as well as of local, national and international Jewish organizations and the private collections of many outstanding Jewish personalities. The Archives hold the most extensive collection of documents, pinkassim (registers) and other records of Jewish history from the Middle Ages to the present day. This archive is unique in its linguistic diversity: throughout the ages, Jews used to live in various countries and speak - along with Yiddish and Hebrew - the languages of these counties. Thus, the collections in the archive are in dozens of different languages. In fact it is arguable that the linguistic diversity of the CAHJP's collections is probably the most extensive compared to other archives in the world. Multilinguism is part of our essence. The Archives, which recently became part of the National library of Israel is now working intensively on transferring the paper catalog to a digital one. Historically the Archives has catalogued material in the language it was created. However, the digital turn has raised many issues including that of language.

Therefore, we were happy to join the Gesher L’Europa project heading the professional aspect of the training program “At The Source” for archivists working with Jewish materials in Europe. In 2017-2018, a two week training session was given to archivists from the Balkans resulting in the implementation of a catalog system for the Split Jewish community archives and library. I will present this cataloging system and talk about the possibility of a joint access point for searching catalogs of various Balkan institutions which hold Jewish materials.
