Description

Collection of personal archives of leaders and activists of the Zionist Movement and the Yishuv.

Most of the original documents in the files of the record group are in English, German or another language

System of arrangement

Registration of the various collections and record groups

A. Language of registration of the files
The descriptions of most of the files in the various record groups are in Hebrew. However, if most of the original documents in the files of the record group are in English, German or another language, the file descriptions are in English. Most of the file descriptions (about 80%) are in Hebrew.

B. Record groups of personal archives
Most of the personal papers have been given a notation beginning with the letter "A" (with the exception of the Theodor Herzl archives, “H1”, and the David Wolffsohn archives, “W1”).
For example:
Arthur Ruppin - A107
Eliezer Ben Yehuda - A43
Leib Jaffe – A13

If a personal archive is small and includes only a few files, it received the notation "AK". For example:
Joe Golan – AK657
Nathan Goralic - AK685

Every record group consists of files, sometimes a few files and other times, thousands of files, according to the amount of material accumulated by the person who produced the material. The files belonging to a specific record group are given a unique notation within the record group. For example:
A43\15
AK826\1

C. Special documents/items of various types in the files:
Below the level of the heading or description of the file, special documents are indicated. These are either related to the general subject of the file or are exceptional items due to their content, their type (a map, photograph, poster, etc.) or their size. These items are described, given a notation and registered on a separate level, below the general description or heading of the file. Items of exceptional size (larger than A4) found in the files (a document, map, poster, handbill or photograph) are removed and stored in special store-rooms. In such cases, a special reference page is added to the file indicating the details of the removed item.
