"The Schneerson family library is a unique book collection that belonged to the Lubavitcher tzaddik dynasty before the revolution and was nationalized in the twenties by the Soviet government.
In 2013, after many years of staying among other disparate Jewish collections of the V.I. Library. Lenin, these books were again collected together on the territory of the Jewish Museum in a department of the Russian State Library specially created for this purpose. Nowadays, this collection is not only available to any visitor after receiving an RSL library card, but also unites a number of museum projects whose goal is to study the Jewish book heritage on the territory of the Russian Federation and popularize knowledge about Jewish written culture.

All books from the collection have currently been digitized and are available in the Electronic Library of the RSL to any Internet user."
