About Riverlands Jewish Archive
Who We Are
Founded in 2024, the Riverlands Jewish Archive is a collaboration between the Western Kentucky University Department of History, Indiana Jewish Historical Society, and the various Jewish communities in the region. Our primary goal is to preserve the rich history of Jewish communities along in the Mississippi and Ohio River valleys.
A Work in Progress
We are a constantly growing project. As of January 15, we have almost 1,000 documents uploaded, 5,500 in processing, and tens of thousands to be uploaded over the next year.
We thank you for your patience as we get set up and hit the ground running. If you would like to stay informed of our progress, sign up for our newsletter below.
