HUC-JIR's four-campus network of libraries include the main research library at the Klau Library in Cincinnati, the S.
Zalman and Ayala Abramov Library in Jerusalem, the Frances-Henry Library in Los Angeles, and the Klau Library in New York.
The mission of HUC-JIR's library system is to collect, preserve, and provide access to the total record of Jewish thought
and experience. Preserving nearly 700,000 volumes, the nework of libraries is ranked as one of the world's largest
repositories of Hebraica and Judaica from the 10th century to the present – second only in size to the Jewish National
and University Library in Jerusalem – and includes thousands of rare volumes, illuminated manuscripts, Biblical codices,
communal records, legal documents, and scientific tracts. The Jewish Periodical Center houses the nation's most
complete collection of Jewish newspapers and magazines on microfilm. The Klau Library in Cincinnati is one of the
three conservators in the world of the negatives of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
