Directed by Mitchell Bard, the Jewish Virtual Library, formerly called JSOURCE, is a division of the American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise.[1] Besides Judaica, it is a strong online reference source for documents related to The Holocaust and Nazi Germany. While it does contain bibliographies, it is not a search engine and is not extensively Web-linked; the organization's intention is to have needed material in one place.
It is divided into 13 sections:
- History
- Women
- The Holocaust
- Travel
- Israel & The States
- Maps
- Politics
- Biography
- Israel
- Religion
- Judaic Treasures of the Library of Congress; it is an authorized mirror site with some uniquely scanned materias
- Vital Statistics
- Reference, including bibliographies, a glossary, and a time-line for the history of Judaism
