SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT

After being closed for renovations, the American Ancestors facility will reopen for research appointments on January 21, 2025. We look forward to welcoming researchers back to our building! 

Beginning Wednesday, January 22, the Wyner Family Jewish Heritage Center will be open for research appointments:

  • Wednesdays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

  • Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

  • Fridays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

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. 

Please note that 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.
