DescLIBRARY - THE LIBRARY OF THE LEO BAECK INSTITUTE IS INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED AS THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE REPOSITORY FOR BOOKS DOCUMENTING THE HISTORY AND CULTURE OF GERMAN-SPEAKING JEWRY. OVER 80,000 VOLUMES AND 900 PERIODICAL TITLES PROVIDE IMPORTANT PRIMARY AND SECONDARY MATERIAL. RICH IN RARITIES RANGING FROM EARLY 16TH CENTURY WRITINGS, TO MOSES MENDELSSOHN AND HEINRICH HEINE, and FIRST EDITIONS AND DEDICATION COPIES OF WORKS BY MORE RECENT PROMINENT WRITERS, MANY OF ITS VOLUMES WERE SALVAGED FROM FAMOUS JEWISH LIBRARIES THAT WERE CONFISCATED AND DISPERSED BY THE NAZIS. MOST OF THE COLLECTION DEALS WITH CENTRAL EUROPEAN JEWRY DURING THE NINETEENTH AND EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURIES. IT ALSO INCLUDES MATERIAL DATING BACK AS FAR AS THE 16TH CENTURY AND IS AS CURRENT AS THE JEWISH POPULATION IN GERMANY TODAY. THE FOCUS OF THE COLLECTION IS ON THE DIVERSE CULTURE OF GERMAN-SPEAKING JEWRY, ESPECIALLY IN THE ARTS, SCIENCES, LITERATURE, PHILOSOPHY, AND RELIGION.Desc

DescARTS AND EXHIBITS - In addition to the archival documents and books held by the Institute, the collections include over 6,000 three-dimensional objects.

The balance of the materials are objects that the families found important to take out of Germany, including religious items, military medals, photo albums, and much more. The Institute uses these objects in exhibitions when telling the story of German-speaking Jewry.Desc

All collection items are catalogued and preserved, and activities verifying their existence and assessing their condition are performed regularly. In accordance with the collection policies of museums, the cost or value of these collections is not included in the statements of the financial position. Each of the three collections receives new items each year through contributions that are not included in the financial statements. Items purchased by the Institute for the collections, primarily for the library, are recorded as expenses in the year in which the items are purchased. The Institute reviews its collections on an ongoing basis and may periodically acquire or de-access items. Proceeds received from deaccessions are either imposed restrictions that are board-restricted, based on the restrictions placed on the original gift by the donor, or lack thereof, and are restricted to fund future acquisitions of collections, or the preservation, conservation or direct care of other collections.

Form And Line ReferenceFORM 990, SCHEDULE R, PART II, LINE 1:FormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationAdditional RELATED PARTY information: In October 1995, the Institute, along with three other not-for-profit organizations, the American Jewish Historical Society, the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, Inc., and the Yeshiva University Museum signed an agreement forming the Center for Jewish History, Inc. (the "Center"), a separate, 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation. Thereafter, the American Sephardi Federation entered into a supplemental agreement with the initial members which provided for its membership into the Center. Upon liquidation of the Center, member organizations would be entitled to receive a share of the proceeds of the liquidation, subject to certain senior claims. Liquidation of the Center requires the consent of all member organizations. The Center provides for the operation of the Institute's operating facility, including (i) maintenance of all offices and specialized areas; (ii) control of the mechanical systems for the building; (iii) maintenance of elevators; (iv) support for all technology; (v) security; and (vi) many other related services. The Center also serves as the central repository for the Institute's archival documents, books, photographs, paintings, and artifacts. Although the Center derives its revenue from sources typical of not-for-profit enterprises, revenues generated by the Center are not sufficient to cover its operating expenses. For the years 2020 and 2019, the Institute and other members agreed to contribute an aggregate amount of approximately $2,551,000 and $1,288,000, respectively, to cover the Center's operating costs. The amount contributed by each member was based upon the member's allocated space at the Center. In addition to the facility services agreement, in 2010, the Institute and the Center entered into an agreement whereby the Institute would operate the day-to-day operations of the Center's microfilm laboratory. During 2019, the Institute came to an agreement with the Center where the Center would handle the bulk of the accounting services for the Institute. During 2017, the Center and other member organizations entered into an amended agreement that included updated bylaws and other governance related matters to further enhance and strengthen the collaboration among the five member organizations. In relation to its agreements with the Center, the Institute incurred operating expenses of $557,762 and $268,134 for 2020 and 2019, respectively. At December 31, 2020 and 2019 the Institute owed the Center approximately $48,000 and $68,000, respectively. In addition, during 2020 the Center charged each of the partners its share of a special assessment for operating deficits incurred by the Center during 2020. The Institute's share of the assessment was $245,838.ExplanationTxt
