Dedicated to the preservation of the East European Jewish heritage since its founding in 1925, YIVO has become the world's preeminent research institute and academic center for East European Jewish studies. Each year, hundreds of scholars, students, writers, filmmakers, artists, performers, historians, genealogists and biographers from around the world call upon YIVO to assist in their research. Over 4,000 persons per year visit the YIVO reading room; the YIVO staff fields more than 7,000 telephone and fax queries annually. Devoted to the history, society and culture of Ashkenazic Jewry, and to the influence of that culture as it developed in the Americas, YIVO's work is crucial to understanding the Eastern European roots of the contemporary Jewish experience. YIVO Institute is located at the Center for Jewish History, along with the American Jewish Historical Society, American Sephardi Federation, Leo Baeck Institute and Jeshiva University Museum.
