The Rose Library Collection
Doctoral level research depends upon comprehensive library holdings, and Center faculty and students enjoy a first-class library. The newest addition to this gem collection is the introduction of Internet -2 access to the 52,000 Holocaust testimonies in the Shoah Foundation Visual History Archive. Thus equipped, the Rose Library is a 21st century space that meets research and teaching needs.
The Rose Library houses the Diana Bartley Collection as well as other books relating to the Holocaust and genocide studies. The Bartley Collection holds approximately 8,000 books, including many Holocaust materials dating from 1933 to 1947. Originally, conceived as a library for Holocaust research, with the Center's mandate expanded to genocide studies, the range of titles has broadened. It continues to grow, with acquisitions on genocide in the twentieth century, including the Armenian Genocide.
The Collection includes a broad range of materials on Holocaust and genocide including:
- History
- Sociology
- Photography
- Memoirs
- Literature
- Psychology
- Religion
- Political Science
