The “Renato Maestro” Library and Archives www.renatomaestro.org holds and offers for consultation to those studying the Venetian Jewish heritage a rich and precious collection of reference and archives. Today, this heritage constitutes an integral part of the resources available at the Jewish Museum. The primary purpose of the library, however, is not merely the preservation of this material. Its essential purpose is the promotion and active research and dissemination of the resources, references contained therein.
To that end, the Library has undertaken a number of long term cultural projects which will require on the one hand financial investment and on the other committed participation of volunteers who can contribute their knowledge, experience and good will. As regards as the financial contributions, below is listed a summary of the projects we hope to realize with the aid of private funding.
