Recently, the William H. Hannon Library (http://library.
lmu.edu/) launched the Werner von Boltenstern Shanghai
Photograph and Negative Collection, which contains,
most notably, images of Jewish Holocaust refugees and
other Jewish communities already living in Shanghai in the
1930s-1940s. From daily work life to weddings to soccer
games in ghettos, these images capture a wide range of the
Jewish experience as well as show the deep imprint Jewish
culture has had on Shanghai’s history.
Currently, the Hannon Library is seeking more information
about this rich collection. Inquiries so far have resulted in
numerous replies from across the United States, Australia,
France, Germany, Shanghai, Great Britain, and Hong Kong.
Such quick responses help to illustrate what is already known
about this collection; it has tremendous historical, cultural
and, likely for people who were there, personal value. To
participate in this project or just to see the collection visit
http://dh.lmu.edu/shanghai-collection-crowdsourcing. For
more information, please contact Melanie Hubbard, Digital
Scholarship Librarian at melanie.hubbard@lmu.edu.
The William H. Hannon Library is located at Loyola
Marymount University in Los Angeles, California.
