The YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, founded in Vilnius, Lithuania, and now based in New York City, is the world's largest archive dedicated to preserving the history and culture of East European Jewry, and preserving Yiddish language, literature and folklore in Eastern Europe, Russian and Germany.

YIVO has now developed the YIVO Encyclopedia comprising the history and culture of East European Jews from the beginnings of their settlement in the region to the present. This resource is available through an easy-to-use website.
