and the Research Center is a state-of-the-art computer project based 
on instant electronic recall of valuable documentation safeguarded in

Memorial Act passed by the Knesset in 1976, are a branch of the Israel 
National Archives.
Today they house more than three million pages of documents, including 
rare and unique ones such as Ben-Gurion's personal diaries covering over 
fifty years of his dynamic career in the Labor Movement, Mapai (his 
political party), the Jewish Agency, and the State of Israel. The Archives 
also contain Ben-Gurion's letters, speeches, and articles, as well as 
protocols and correspondence from organizations and committees he was 
involved with.  
Over 400,000 pages of text have been scanned, digitized and stored in the
