By JOSEPH BERGER | Oct 2nd 2014

The YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, now in Manhattan, and the Lithuanian government have agreed to let the surviving YIVO documents in Lithuania be integrated into a web portal.

Archives and Records; Arts and Antiquities Looting; Holocaust and the Nazi Era; Yiddish Language 

The project should be done.

A digital archive is a problem that needs a solution.

RAID systems work reasonably well.  Multiple sites and constant attention are also necessary.

I am not ready for such a demanding entrance.

I would like broadband by land line. 

A well and generous hot water are required.

I would like better soil.

Twelve volt power is fine.
