Abstract
The Sephardic Jewish legacy in Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially in Sarajevo, is in dire need of rehabilitation and preservation as the current Jewish population is in rapid decline. The main objective for the research note is to highlight the importance of diverse representation and overall cultural inclusivity. It also exposes the need for divergence in historical research and materials. This note includes information on historical and textual tradition, records, and means and sources for further study on Ottoman Jewish history in the Balkans. The resources encompass vast archival repositories from both Sarajevo and Dubrovnik, incorporate combined archaeological evidence, and draw on documentation written in several different languages, one of which – Judeo-Spanish – is rapidly disappearing from use. This kind of approach encourages historians to expand their field of research and promotes new ways to overcome sparseness of primary sources.
