About the Cleveland Jewish Archives

Cleveland Jewish Archives Links | Contact Us

The Cleveland Jewish Archives collects and makes available for research print and non-print material that documents the history of the Jewish community of Greater Cleveland. The Cleveland Jewish Archives houses over two hundred manuscript collections consisting of personal papers of individuals and families, Holocaust testimonies, and institutional records including those of businesses, congregations, and educational, political, social, charitable, and welfare organizations. Materials include items such as minutes, letters, ledgers, photographs, tapes and films, books, and newspapers.

Many items from the Archives’ holdings are on permanent display at the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage as part of a unique collaborative relationship between the WRHS and the Maltz Museum.

Ha-Ivrit Ha-Tza'ir: One of Cleveland's many social clubs, this young Hebrew group was devoted to learning the Hebrew language (1915.)

In 1897 the Council of Jewish Women held a charity bazaar whose proceeds went towards the building fund of the Council Educational Alliance, a settlement house.
