The archival collections consist of about 10,000 collections of 2,000 memoirs, manuscripts, and more than 35,000 photos. In accordance with the collection policies of museums, the cost or value of the collections is not included in the institute's statements of the financial position. Purchases of collection items are recorded as expenses in the year in which the items are purchased. Likewise, contributed collections items are not included in the financial statements. The Institute reviews its collections and may periodically acquire or deaccess items. Proceeds from deaccessions are classified as unrestricted, except when donor restrictions apply.
PART III, LINE 4:Description of collections Furthering the Institute's Exempt Purpose: THE LEO BAECK INSTITUTE (LBI) IS A CENTER FOR RESEARCH, EXHIBITIONS, AND EVENTS. ITS LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES OFFER THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE DOCUMENTATION FOR THE STUDY OF GERMAN JEWISH HISTORY. MOST OF LBI'S COLLECTION PERTAINS TO CENTRAL EUROPEAN JEWRY DURING THE NINETEENTH AND EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURIES. IT ALSO INCLUDES MATERIAL DATING AS FAR back AS THE 16TH CENTURY AND 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. LBI'S ARCHIVES IS THE OUTSTANDING collection of original documents OF ITS KIND. FAMILY PAPERS, COMMUNITY HISTORIES, AND BUSINESS AND PUBLIC RECORDS DATE BACK CENTURIES AND TOUCH UPON VIRTUALLY EVERY PHASE OF GERMAN-JEWISH LIFE.
PART V, QUESTION 4:USE OF ENDOWMENT The Institutes endowment consists of four donor-restricted funds established for a variety of purposes supporting the overall mission of the Institute.
PART X, QUESTION 2:FIN 48: The Institute is subject to the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (the "FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 740, Income Taxes, as it relates to accounting and reporting for uncertainty in income taxes. Because of the Institute's general tax-exempt status, management believes ASC Topic 740 has not had, and is not anticipated to have, a material impact on the Institute's financial statements.

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 is a 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 2017 and 2016, the Institute and the other members of the center agreed to PAY an aggregate amount of $1,100,000 each year, 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. Then, in 2014, the Institute and the Center entered into an agreement whereby the Center would provide accounting and other administrative functions to the Institute. However, for 2017 and thereafter, the Institute amended this relationship with the Center, which will no longer handle the bulk of the accounting services for the Institute; instead, the Institute will handle its own accounting function. During 2017, the Center and other member organizations entered into an amended agreement that included THE CENTER FOR JEWISH HISTORY updatING ITS 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 $237,160 and $215,600 for 2017 and 2016, respectively.ExplanationTxt
