Many of our archival materials are stored in an offsite facility. In order to ensure that we have the materials you need onsite and that our archivists can best serve you, all research visits must be scheduled in advance. We ask that you reach out at least a week before your potential visit.
Please email jhcreference@jewishheritagecenter.org for more information or to schedule an appointment.
Many of the Jewish Heritage Center’s collections are digitized, searchable, and available for access through our Digital Library & Archives. To learn more about our digitized collections and how to access them, please click here.
