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
As of November 15th 2024, we have initiated our archive's soft launch. At launch, we have almost 1000 documents digitized and tens of thousands more to be uploaded over the coming months.
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.
