Scope and Contents
A major portion of Leo Jacobsohn's collection consisted of copies of newspapers, often those published on days of political and social relevance. Dr. Jacobsohn lived in Berlin during the period, so often the newspapers are local to the city. However, he also has editions from Danzig (his hometown) and those produced by World War I troops among his diverse collection.

Processing Information
The newspapers are organized by title in alphabetical order and then by date in the case that there were numerous issues of one title. The original organization is only partly known, but may have been more thematic and generally chronological; however, alphabetical order by title and then chronological order within these divisions is often easier to search and just as easy to locate issues from important historical dates.
