Jewish Historical Website Redesigned

In addition to undergoing a beautiful redesign, the Jewish Historical Society of Greater New Haven’s (JHSGNH) website has turned into the go-to place to help those interested in New Haven Jewish history to learn more about the area, the people and more. The new website is more interactive and will have a changing display of items from JHSGNH’s archives.

People can send New Haven Jewish history research questions to JHSGNH’s archivists or they can search the indices of JHSGNH’s holdings to see if they have documents or records that interest readers. One place to start to learn more about New Haven’s Jewish history is to look at the 10 volumes of JHSGNH’s Jews of New Haven series. Other sections include researching your past, collection guides, oral histories, tours and publications, and other resources.

JHSGNH’s archivists can also discuss any records, documents, photographs, business ledgers, movies or recordings that community members would like to donate to JHSGNH’s collection. In addition, people can donate to JHSGNH or become members through the website at jewishhistorynh.org/support-jhsgnh.

Robert Kaplan Associates of New Haven and Lynn Amos of FyneLyne Ventures helped design and create the website. A Community Foundation of Greater New Haven grant helped fund the new website.
