Thanatology, the study of death and dying, is a medical specialty of recent establishment. Over the past two or three decades, there has been a marked increased interest in this topic and in the number of articles and books devoted to its discussion. It has been said that this development is due to a lifting of earlier taboos against public discussion and that the medical profession had been remiss in its failure to provide a more open, forthright airing of its experience with death.

In celebration of the occasion of the 350th anniversary of Jewish immigration to America, this paper takes a look back and then looks forward, highlighting both achievements and challenges in the realms of Jewish libraries and archives as well as their associated professions. The paper scans the past fifty years, since the tercentenary in 1954, pointing to evidence of much growth and expansion. It then proceeds to discuss areas of development for the future, taking into account opportunities presented by the digital age.
