A version of the Union list of Australian Jewish Periodicals may be downloaded from the archive webpage as a zip file. This second edition of the journal bibliography contains over four hundred annotated titles and details as to where they may be found. It is hoped that the bibliography will be published in hard copy in the second half of 2001. It has been a difficult project because of problems with formatting, and some editing is still needed. Individuals or libraries interested in a print-out of the latest interim text should apply to the archivist.
The Archive continues to attract a wide variety of users who include students from overseas universities, as well as local users who include authors, writers and researchers preparing exhibitions or museum curators.
The Archive wishes to thank the University of Sydney Library for technical support of the Archive, as well as the Mandelbaum Trust for its financial support and the Friends of the Archive for their ongoing support of the Archive's projects.
