Introduction

This page is an inventory of the Yizkor books found in the Seattle, Washington area. Other than the accuracy of this inventory, all inquiries regarding these Yizkor books should be directed to the institutions listed below.

Inventory

This inventory was conducted in December, 1999 and all the information below is current as of that date. Note: there is no guarantee the inventory is complete. The inventory is organized by institution, then by alphabetic town name. Each entry follows the syntax below:

Town Name (Country): Title (Title translation) (Year-of-Publication, Pages) [Language(s)], Author/Editor, (Place-of-Publication: Publisher) [Call-Number]

The bibliographic detail originates from my inventory and catalog listings of the material. This was then cross-checked against various lists published on the World Wide Web and the list of Yizkor books published in From Generation to Generation by Arthur Kurzweil.
