The Jabotinsky Institute Archive is the sole archive in the world to safeguard the documentation of the Revisionist Movement for all generations. Its prominent collection contains millions of documents of the National Movement institutions from their creation through current times, the Betar Youth Movement, and the Etzel and Lehi undergrounds. It also features the personal collections of the movement’s key personalities and activists, notably the personal archives of Ze'ev (Vladimir) Jabotinsky.

An adjacent library contains thousands of books relating to the history of the Jewish people and the Land of Israel, as well as a rare collection of the movement’s journalism.

Many of these treasures can be viewed, at no charge, on the website of the Jabotinsky Institute.
