The YIVO Institute for Jewish Research is based in New York City and represents the single largest and most comprehensive collection of materials on East European Jewish civilization in the world. Dedicated to preserving the stories of Jewish life, much of their work focuses on the history and culture of East European Jewry - the ancestry of a significant number of Jewish people in the world today.
