 The
SIDIC Rome Documentation Center makes available
to the public a large collection
of documents concerning Jewish-Christian relations.
It comprises about 6.200 entries that may be retrieved
by electronic catalogue, now available on-line.
The Collection of these documents
has been going on since the 1960's, that is, since
the time of the Second Vatican Council, especially
since the promulgation of the declaration Nostra
Aetate, in 1965.
It includes articles drawn from
magazines and newspapers, texts of lectures, material
collected in dossiers, and official declarations
by both Jewish and Christian bodies throughout
the world. The documentation also includes about
150 periodicals (magazines
and newsletters), many of which have been bound,
which also go back to the 1960's.
After having been active for
over 30 years at the SIDIC headquarters in Via
del Plebiscito, the documentation service moved
to the Pontifical
Gregorian University in July 2002. The Documentation
Center continues to be owned by the Congregation
of the Sisters of our Lady of Sion. |
