Einstein's personal library

The Albert Einstein Archives Library 

The Library consists of two main collections. 

Einstein's private library: Einstein's personal library was 
transferred to The Jewish National & University Library in 1987, 
following the death of Einstein's step-daughter, Margot Einstein. The 
library includes books, musical scores and records collected by 
Einstein throughout his life. The books deal with science, European 
and American politics and society, literature and culture, religion 
and philosophy, Judaism and Israel. The musical scores contain works 
by Einstein's favorite composers, especially Mozart, Bach, and 
Handel. The records range from classical music to Israeli folk music. 
It is not known to what extent the library is complete - no inventory 
from the years in which Einstein lived is extant. But it is known 
that Einstein's secretary gave some books away to friends and 
associates following Einstein's death. Einstein's own books and 
records are supplemented by those of the other members of the 
Einstein household.
