The Cecil Roth papers at Southampton

With Karen Robson, University archivist from Southampton University.

This event is part of the Sadler Seminar Series, The Archive After Cecil Roth: Jewish Studies, cultural history and the Cecil Roth Collection

Southampton University archivist Karen Robson will give an inside insight into the archive papers of Cecil Roth, the doyen of the Anglo-Jewish historical establishment until his death in 1970. The Southampton archive complements the archival holdings kept in the Roth Collection at the University of Leeds. Together, they offer a unique insight into the accademic and community networks among 20th-century UK Jewish historians, both inside and outside HEI.

There will also be a display and handling session of Roth's choicest Hebraica.
