The American Jewish Historical Society is a museum- and archive-focused institution based in New York City. It preserves and provides access to a vast collection that documents the history of Jewish presence in the United States from 1654 to the present, including more than 25 million documents and 50,000 books, photographs, art and artifacts. The organization serves researchers, educators and the broader public who seek to understand Jewish American history and its intersections with broader American life, and it has pursued initiatives to broaden its geographic reach and engage audiences nationally and globally. Within the museum and historical society landscape, it operates as a repository and cultural resource that situates the Jewish experience within American historical context, collaborating on projects and programs that illuminate understudied aspects of immigrant and refugee histories. Recent developments include launching the American Jewish Education Program, which aims to transform the organization into a more nationally oriented body reflecting its collections and audience reach.
