Dedication:
THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO
the memories of
Joy Ruth Young
editor and indexer of the first edition
without whose perseverance and devotion
this project would never have reached fruition,
nor established the basis for its ongoing expansion
and development.
Her premature passing was a great loss
to Australian Jewish scholarship;
Nancy Keesing
a grand lady in Australian letters
who lit the spark for this undertaking and kept the flame alive
with sustaining encouragement,
steadfast interest
and generosity;
and
Alan D. Crown
scholar, teacher, innovator, editor,
founder of the Archive of Australian Judaica
and of the Mandelbaum Trust,
and prime mover behind its Bibliography of Australasian Judaica.
