If you would like to see original historical materials in person, please contact jhcreference@jewishheritagecenter.org to schedule a research visit. We welcome researchers of all kinds, from scholars and historians to students to people curious about their family history or any aspect of the Jewish American past.

Research appointments must be made in advance to ensure that we have the collections you need, as many of our materials are stored offsite. We ask that you please reach out at least a week in advance of your potential visit.

The Wyner Family Jewish Heritage Center is open for research:

• Wednesday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
• Thursday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
• Friday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

During your appointment, our team will welcome you to the Jewish Heritage Center reading room at the American Ancestors headquarters at 97 Newbury Street in Boston, MA. Our non-circulating research library means materials must stay on site, but we are happy to have you view materials in person and scan or photograph when appropriate.
