ABOUT US
Chartered in 1951, the Rhode Island Jewish Historical Association (RIJHA) is the oldest local ethnic historical society in Rhode Island. Led by volunteers and supported through memberships, donations, and bequests, the Association serves scholars, teachers, students, genealogists, and history buffs—Jews and non-Jews alike.
The Association has built a very extensive archive about Rhode Island Jewry during the 19th and 20th centuries. Its abundant collections include more than 5,000 photographs, manuscripts, a complete run of the Rhode Island Jewish Herald and Federation Voice, congregational and organizational records, city directories, oral history recordings, and a large number of artifacts.
