Biographical History
The Western Jewish History Center (WJHC), a research center based around a library and large archive, was founded in 1967. It is part of the Judah L. Magnes Museum, located in Berkeley, Calif. Its mission is to collect and preserve materials documenting the history of the Jewish community in the western United States. To that end, it has collected a large number of organizational records; personal papers and correspondence; audiotapes; and photographs, graphic art, and motion picture films. It has also sponsored the creation of oral histories of noteworthy individuals; assisted in the publication of scholarly material; hosted educational conferences and symposia; and created and arranged for the distribution of museum exhibitions based on the WJHC's collections. The Center's own research library contains local, personal, and family histories; books; pamphlets; theses and dissertations; regional Jewish periodicals and magazines; genealogies of prominent families; and general reference works.
