About

IsraelPalestineHistory.com is a historical archive and marketplace for original historical documents and primary sources, operated by Kedmat Dana, a Jerusalem-based dealer of authentic historical items active for over 20 years.

The name “Kedmat Dana” means “from ancient times” in Aramaic, reflecting our focus on original materials from the history of the Land of Israel and Palestine.

We began by acquiring household goods and historical items from merchants, markets, and private individuals in Jerusalem and the surrounding area. Over the years, this activity grew into both a physical store in central Jerusalem and an online auction platform serving thousands of customers worldwide.

The website specializes in original historical materials, including:
- Newspapers  
- Maps  
- Documents  
- Books and brochures  
- Photographs  
- Stamps  
- Posters  
- Judaica and Jewish items  
and other archival items.

Our clientele includes private collectors, museums, universities, researchers, writers, and students seeking authentic primary sources and archival materials related to the history of Israel and Palestine.

The site is not curated as a museum collection. All items are offered for sale, and the collection reflects decades of accumulation of paper materials and historical objects that could not simply be discarded.

Visitors are invited to explore the thousands of items available and are welcome to contact us with questions or inquiries.
