Maine Jewish History Initiative (Maine Historical Society)

Joint project of the Maine Historical Society and Documenting Old Maine Jewry, a volunteer, web-focused group (now known as Documenting Maine Jewry). The MJHI has three key goals: to promote the preservation of historical materials that illuminate the history of Jews and Jewish community life in the State of Maine; to encourage cooperation between existing repositories of Maine Jewish material to ensure greater public awareness and access; and to serve as a model for the treatment of historical materials relating to a broad range of Maine ethnic, racial, and religious groups.
