Abstract:
In 2014/15, the private estate of the renowned zoologist and environmentalist professor Heinrich Mendelssohn was catalogued and arranged at the Archives for the History of Tel Aviv University. The project was guided and supported by the Deutsches Literaturarchiv Marbach and the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. This article presents some of the reflections, contemplations, and thoughts of the archivists and scholars who performed the archival processing of Mendelssohn’s collection in relation to recent archival theory. In addition, the article introduces biographical information on the life and work of Mendelssohn himself in both a local and a transnational historical context.
