Which university in Jerusalem holds Albert Einstein's literary estate?

The Hebrew University of Jerusalem holds Albert Einstein’s literary estate. Einstein’s will directed that his intellectual property, manuscripts, and literary rights pass to the university he helped establish in Jerusalem.

After Einstein died in 1955, the university became the custodian of his papers and writings. In 1982, the estate transferred all literary rights to the Hebrew University, and the institution later assigned copyright responsibilities to the curator of the Albert Einstein Archives. The archive includes scientific and personal papers, photographs, books, and correspondence.

A common mix-up is confusing the literary estate with Einstein’s academic employers. He taught at institutions including the University of Zurich, the German University in Prague, and the University of Berlin, but none of those universities received his literary estate. The Hebrew University also holds the Albert Einstein Archives, making it a major center for research on his life, physics, politics, and relationship with Zionism.
