To mark the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the State of Israel, an exhibition of historical documents and treasures from the Israel State Archives was held at the Israel Museum. The documents are linked with milestones in the history of Israel, and first and foremost among them are the Declaration of Independence and the peace treaty with Egypt. The exhibition also included valuable documents from the holdings of the Israel Museum.
To mark the occasion the Israel State Archives has published a catalogue in Hebrew and English, giving photographs and explanations about selected items and a full list of the exhibits.
