All the photos are copyrighted by Harvey Abrams and may not be published elsewhere without written permission.
You may download copies for your own, non-commercial use. The images are extremely large on purpose -
you may use your computer to enlarge them to see very fine details.
This is necessary to read and translate the inscriptions.

The artwork on the stones is also very interesting and worthwhile to observe.
Hebrew and German are the primary languages so if your only language skill
is English then you will need translation assistance.

Harvey Abrams-BOOKS



Founded in 1979.
Harvey Abrams-BOOKS is my antiquarian book business.

The main purpose was to develop my own research library for my Ph.D. in Physical Education.
My specialty was History of Sport and my minor was American History.
My Doctoral Dissertation was on the 1904 Olympic Games.

My original business focus was on selling books and printed matter.
After living in West Berlin, Germany in the early 1980's I expanded the business interests to include posters,
artwork, medallic arts and collectables. This business helped me to develop my own personal collection,
a research library that grew into one of the largest private collections on the Olympic Games in the world.

I sell new, used & rare books, posters, medals & collectables on the Olympic Games
and most sports subjects via print catalogs to libraries and collectors worldwide.

This led me to create the IISOH non-profit corporation, a separate entity than this business.
The purpose is to develop a multi-lingual Library & Museum for the History of Sport and the Olympic Games.

Central High School of Philadelphia 226
(Class of 1967)


I created and host a website
in honor of, and in memory of the 482+ classmates from
the 1967 graduating class - the 226th class to graduate from
Central High School of Philadelphia.

Central High School of Philadelphia was founded in 1836 and is the
2nd oldest high school in the USA formed right after Boston Latin High School.

Entrance was, and continues to be, strictly limited to
high scoring students from all the junior high schools
in the city of Philadelphia. The school was originally only
a boy's high school. The Girl's High School was across the street.
Since the 1980's Central has become coeducational.

The school awards a Bachelor of Arts degree plus the high school diploma.
Students who meet the qualifications receive a BA degree instead of the diploma.

Graduating classes have been numbered since the first class graduated
in the 1800's and I was in the 226th graduating class... 1967.


Under construction since September 2022...
