And in the proces s\, built something bigger: a public portal delivering a once-impossible l evel of access. \nWednesday\, September 16\, 2026\n10:00 – 11:00 am PST\ nvia Zoom \nRegister\n  \nPicture a records search that takes twenty minu tes and still might come up empty. That was daily life for the Magnes Col lection of Jewish Art and Life at the University of California\, Berkeley . Its team of eight relied on a legacy CMS requiring VPN access to servers overseas\, just to pull a single record. \nThis setup wasn’t just slow. It limited what the team could take on—a reality many GLAMP institution s know too well. \nThen came the real test: a chance to acquire the Roman Vishniac Archive. At 30\,000 objects\, it would double their collections. Taking it on without adding staff meant modernizing\, fast. \nHear the bus iness case they made\, the choices they faced\, and what changed after go- live.

He was hailed as “America’s great musical poet” by Andr ew Porter and noted as “one of America’s most distinguished creative a rtists in any field” by his friend Aaron Copland. Carter’s prolific ca reer spanned over 75 years\, with more than 150 pieces\, ranging from cham ber music to orchestral works to opera\, often marked with a sense of wit and humor. He received numerous honors and accolades\, including the Pulit zer Prize on two occasions: in 1960 for his String Quartet No. 2 and in 1 973 for his String Quartet No. 3. Other awards include Germany’s Ernst Von Siemens Music Prize and the Prince Pierre Foundation Music Award. Cart er was the first composer to receive the United States National Medal of A rts\, and is one of a handful of composers inducted into the American Clas sical Music Hall of Fame. He was recognized twice by the Government of Fra nce: being named Commander of the “Ordre des Arts et des Lettres\,” an d receiving the insignia of Commander of the Legion of Honor in September 2012. \nPhoto by Nancy Lee Katz\, 1999.

Co-Sponsored by the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Li fe. \nThe 1948 Arab-Israeli War attracted attention from the highest level s of international society\, state governments\, transnational NGOs\, jour nalism\, and public opinion. Palestine and the emerging state of Israel fu nctioned as both a mirror and a magnifier. Israel’s establishment and th e Palestinian Nakba were interpreted through countries’ specific interes ts\, histories\, and cultures. These events also elicited tremendous passi on. Palestine’s mirroring and magnifying effects did not originate in 19 48\, but the events of that year drastically augmented them\, and the patt erns of global reaction remain with us to this today. \nThursday\, October 22\, 2026 | 5:00-6:30 pm\nat the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Lif e\, 2121 Allston Way\, Berkeley\, CA \nReception and light refreshments: 5 :00-5:30pm\nPresentation and Conversation: 5:30-6:30pm \nRSVP\n\n  \nIf y ou require an accommodation for effective communication (ASL interpretin g\, alternative media formats\, etc.) or information about campus mobility access features in order to fully participate in these events\, please  contact Jennifer Lipscomb at jlipscomb@berkeley.edu with as much advan ce notice as possible. \n\nDerek Penslar is the William Lee Frost Profe ssor of Jewish History and the Director of the Center for Jewish Studies at Harvard University.
