A budget of $450,000 for the activities of the Yiddish Scientific Institute (YIVO) for 1954 was adopted here last night at a meeting of the board of directors.
The budget, more than twice the $192,000 spent by the organization last year, is needed to carry out its commitments for the compiling and writing of a history of the Jewish labor movement throughout the world and to undertake the documentation work which YIVO has agreed to do in connection with the Yad Veshem, the Israeli memorial to the 6,000,000 Jews martyred by the Nazis.
The organization has active branches in Denmark, England, France, Israel, Australia and in most of the Latin American countries, beside this country.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
