Read more about <a href="http://www.shmoop.com/" target=_blank title="Shmoop">Shmoop</a>. <br><br> Our inventory, a major undertaking never carried out at the Archives since its inception in 1982, is coming close to an end. At the same time we are updating our database and improving the metadata. <br><br> We are currently preparing a major project that will include the replacement and modernization of our archival management system. The completion of this project will result in a newly designed website <a href="http://www.alberteinstein.info" target"=_blank> www.alberteinstein.info</a> with greatly expanded holdings, tens of thousands of items that can be displayed as scans and a catalog will that will be updated in real time. We hope to start with this project in the first half of 2011 and I shall update you as we go along. <br> We are undertaking this project as a joint venture with our partner organization Einstein Papers Project (EPP) based in Pasadena, California with whom we are also currently sharing a common database. Please read more background information about our ongoing close cooperation with EPP on our <a href="http://www.albert-einstein.org/.index5.html" target"=_blank>EPP page</a>. <br><br> In the meantime, we have put up a most fascinating <a href="http://www.albert-einstein.org/article_manuscript1916.html" target"=_blank> historic background story</a> about the famous 1916 manuscript on the General Theory of Relativy on how it got to the Hebrew University. <br><br> <!-- The announced article "Einstein and the Atomic Bomb" is almost finished and will be up soon. "Einstein as an Inventor" will be next in line. --> As always, if you have suggestions or want to voice your criticism, please feel free to contact me.<br><br> </p> Yours,<br> <a href="mailto:ronigr@savion.huji.ac.il">Dr. Roni Grosz</a><br> Curator of the Albert Einstein Archives, Jerusalem<br><br><br> <b>Last Modified:</b><br> March 1, 2011 <br></font> </td></tr> </table> <table align="center"> <tr><td align="center"><br><font face="Verdana" color=#FFFF99 size="2"><br> <b>This website has been optimized for Microsoft Explorer 6 and higher.</b> &nbsp; <br></font> </td></tr> <table align="center"> <tr><td align="center"><br><font face="Verdana" color=#FFFF99 size="2"><br> <b>Visitors since January 23, 2001:</b> &nbsp; <br><img src="http://www3.huji.ac.il/htbin/counter.pl/b/0/1"> </font> </td></tr> </table> <map name="library"> <area shape="RECT" coords="90,53,470,69" href="http://www.huji.ac.il/huji/eng/index_e.htm" target=_blank> <area shape="RECT" coords="184,85,360,101" href="http://lib-authority.huji.ac.il/index.htm" target=_blank> </map> </body> <html>
