Edward Ginsberg was born in Brooklyn in 1917 and graduated from the University of Michigan in 1938. Ginsberg was heavily involved in Israeli and Jewish activities in the United States and served as chairman and president of United Jewish Appeal. The collection primarily documents his travel to Israel on behalf of United Jewish Appeal and highlights his relationship with prominent Israeli leaders, including Golda Meir, Moshe Dayan, and David Ben-Gurion. The collection is especially strong in its visual documentation of life in Israel during the 1960s.

The Edward Ginsberg papers document Ginsberg's involvement with United Jewish Appeal and his relationship with prominent Israeli politicians, including Golda Meir, Moshe Dayan, and David Ben Gurion. The collection is primarily composed of photographs and films covering Ginsberg's travels to Israel on behalf of United Jewish Appeal. These photographs offer strong visual evidence of life in Israel during the 1960s and following the Six Days War.
