29-31 August 1897: 1st Congress in Basel.

Leader Theodor Herzl meticulously choreographed the event so as to lend it an air of significance as well as hold together disparate constituencies.

The preamble to the Program called for establishment of a "home in for the people, secured under public law," thus leaving open the question of statehood but affirming that the result required international support

Just learned about (and am very happy to share) this wonderful presentation about conservation of Judaica (mostly objects-focused; would love to see a follow-up on books!): https://connectingtocollections.org/care_of_judaica/
