American Jewish Historical Society

Site is mostly about the organization but also includes some sources and historical material on American Jewry.

Founded in 1892 as a membership organization, research library, archives and museum, the American Jewish Historical Society is the oldest ethnic historical organization in the United  States. The Society was the first systematic collector of archival, published and artifactual sources depicting the religious, communal, cultural and political life of American Jewry, and  the ways in which that community has contributed to the wider society. Often referred to as  the "national archives" of American Jewry, its holdings are the preeminent resource for  scholars, museums, filmmakers and publishers who want to document American Jewish life  from the 1500s to the present.
