Jabotinsky Institute in Israel, Research institute and archive in Tel Aviv, Israel
The Jabotinsky Institute is a research center and collection in Tel Aviv holding over one million documents, photographs, and objects related to Israel's founding period. Its holdings are housed in the Metzudat Zeev building and can be searched through a digital system.
The collection began in 1931 on the initiative of Yosef Pa'amoni and gained official recognition in 1937 as an archive for Vladimir Jabotinsky's papers and Zionist movement materials. It documents a key period in early Israeli history.
The institute preserves memories of how Jabotinsky shaped early Israeli thought through his writings and activism. Visitors can see personal items and documents that show his impact on the political movement of his era.
The institute provides access to its collections mainly for researchers but can also be visited by interested travelers. Plan ahead and check opening details in advance for any research or extended viewing.
The institute displays an exhibition recreating illegal immigration in the 1930s, a chapter of Zionist history often overlooked by visitors. This presentation tells personal stories of people who attempted to reach Palestine during that period.
