The Bloch Publishing Company has been a family-owned book publishing company for four generations. In 1854 Edward Bloch (1829-1906) established the company. His son Charles E. Bloch (1861-1940) succeeded him and headed the business for sixty years. His son Edward H. Bloch (1898-1982) subsequently managed the company for forty years. As of 1999, the firm is under management of Edward H. Bloch's son, Charles Bloch. This company specializes in publications in the fields of Judaica and Hebraica. The records are in English and Hebrew and consists mainly of book reviews, some correspondence and publicity material from the 1950s and 1960s. There is a scrapbook (ca.1920) including photographs compiled by Charles Bloch Sr. about rabbis and prominent members of the Jewish community. There are also several photographs (ca.1915) of the offices of the Bloch Publishing Co.
