Entrusted with the sacred duty of cultivating and preserving the collective memory of the Jewish people and the State of Israel, in the aftermath of the terrible events of Simchat Torah/October 7 and the ongoing war, the National Library of Israel is embarking on a massive documentation and preservation project, unprecedented in its scope.
Our goal is to craft a vast, reliable, and open repository, reflecting a broad scope of testimony, documentation, social media coverage and public information efforts that will serve the purpose of creating a national memory database. This repository will enable evidence-based historical research, ensuring the testimony of those who lived through these moments resonates for generations to come.
The documentation project is supported by the Israeli Ministry of Heritage and by additional partners in Israel and in the Jewish world. The list of partners is continuously growing.
Please share with us any documentation of this unique period of Jewish history. We are interested in materials that you have collected or created.

The National Library of Israel (NLI) is documenting the mosaic of voices that make up this crucial chapter in Jewish history – fallen victims, hostages, soldiers, survivors and others.
The NLI is building Israel's central national repository of oral and written testimonies, audio and video materials, archives, digital ephemera, and other materials collected by both grassroots initiatives and professional organizations. We also offer professional and legal guidance, as well as technical support to our partner initiatives.

For these communities, the recent attacks were not distant overseas events. The October 7 massacre and its aftermath have made it evident that the ties between global Jewish communities and Israel are concrete, specific, intimate, and personal. Additionally, for many Jews across the globe these events directly impacted their sense of security and personal exposure to antisemitism, from community institutions to students on campuses. Given the ephemeral nature of digital media, our collaboration to preserve these materials, together with Jewish institutions and organizations in the US, Europe, and South America, is essential.
Together, we ensure that no story goes untold.
