That happened around 1925 or so.<br /><br />The JTS I think was founded by Solomon Schechter (correction, he was recruited as its second president in 1902) who also transported the contents of the Cairo (or Fostat) geniza to Cambridge, England in 1896-7. <br /><br />Many of them still have not been gone through, or at least not digested. Not all of it wound up in Cambridge - some wound up other places.
