The Hebraica Libraries Group is a joint forum of Judaica and Hebraica Libraries in the UK. Its aim is to enable librarians and other specialists working in the field of Hebrew and Jewish Studies:
- to share their views and experiences;
- to discuss current developments as well as future projects;
- to coordinate their activities.
The Hebraica Libraries Group is a affiliated to NACIRA, the National Committee for Information Resources on Asia and the British Association for Jewish Studies.

Any library or archive with a collection related to Hebrew and Jewish Studies is welcome to join the group.
Membership is also open to individuals with an interest in Judaica librarianship.
Membership is free. Please contact us if you would like to join.
Activities
- Our annual meeting takes place at a different member library each year, and the formal business is followed by a tour of the host library, viewing of items from its Jewish collections and/or talks on a particular collection or project.
- We organise occasional visits to libraries with Jewish collections or other sites of interest.
- Other activities have included: an electronic forum on cataloguing in RDA, visits to Jewish Book Week and the Israeli Film Festival.
Email discussion list
We have an email discussion list where we can discuss matters of mutual concern such as collection development, cataloguing and meetings. Anyone can sign up
