Menahem Nadel, the Labor Zionist Movement, and Israeli history. The

underground organization founded in 1940 which directed its activities
against the British Mandatory authorities in Palestine.
Nadel donated his papers to the Yale University Library between 1984
and 1988. The papers are arranged in three series:

Microform
Collections
This guide lists and describes
major research collections in microform, housed for the most part in the
Microform Reading Room in Sterling Memorial Library. Excluded from this
listing are works by single individuals, library catalogs, and collections
too narrow in scope to be considered major. All the microform materials
described here should be listed in the Microform Reading Room card catalog
as well as in Orbis or the Sterling public card catalog; unless labeled
otherwise, they can be found in the Microform Reading Room.
The collections are listed by
main entry, and each description includes place of publication, publisher,
and date, the number of reels, fiche, or microprints, and the film, fiche,
or microprint call number. An annotation accompanies each record, as well
as a note identifying available guides or indexes and providing their
locations and call numbers.
To identify materials not included
in this guide or to find newly acquired materials, researchers should
seek assistance from a reference librarian.
