Abstract:
The archive of Heinz Steinitz (1909-1971) provides a rare insight into the early days of zoology and marine biology in Israel. At the same time, it is the multilingual archive of a German-Jewish immigrant that reflects the linguis- tic changes not only he himself experienced, but that were taking place in Israel and the scientific world at large. Through his correspondence, one can trace a network that also included German scientists after 1945. This article seeks to unravel Steinitz' translated life in its linguistic, relational, and col- laborative forms from the perspective of both a researcher and an archivist, taking into account the cataloguing process itself.
