GENERAL SUPPORT

We have often linked to two history websites for more information, and at times they have linked to our pages:
 ● The Jewish Virtual Library, editor Mitchell Bard PhD, and
 ● The Encyclopedia of Cleveland History, editor John Grabowski PhD.

The Cleveland Jewish News, has often reported on our work. Thanks to editor Michael Bennett, former editor Cynthia Dettelbach and staff members including Jennifer Daddario, Arlene Fine, Lila Hanft, Margi Herwald Zitelli and Violet Spevack.

The Aaron Garber Library of the Siegal College of Judaic Studies has been very helpful. Thanks to Director Jean Lettofsky and the staff.

We often benefit from the resources at the Jewish Archives at the Western Reserve Historical Society and the help and encouragement of Sean Martin PhD, Associate Curator for Jewish History, and Ann Sindelar, Reference Supervisor.

John Grabowski PhD of CWRU and WRHS has been helpful in ways direct and indirect - the indirect help being the Encyclopedia of Cleveland History that he helped create years ago. It was a pioneering web history project and is a much-used resource.

Bill Barrow, CSU's Special Collections Librarian, has been helpful in answering questions, in looking after the Cleveland Memory Project, and in bringing together web historians to share energy and ideas.

Myra Shays, my twin sister, who has always been available for final editing of pages. She can spot an extra comma or misused word all the way from Providence, RI.
