Summary
In January 2026, Michael Waas, MA, was reappointed as the NYG&B’s Scholar in Residence to resume research on documenting Jewish families in the NYG&B’s materials. This project is a follow up to Mr. Waas’ previous appointment as the NYG&B's first scholar in residence in 2023 to examine the NYG&B materials (both at the New York Public Library and online) and evaluate them for Jewish scholarship. Nearly 45% of the resources Mr. Waas reviewed were identified as pertinent to Jewish genealogy, and he produced a first-of-its-kind survey of NYG&B resources available for tracing Jewish heritage.
Mr. Taylor and Mr. Waas will discuss the importance of the project’s initial findings and what’s in store for this next phase of research.
