Family History Today: Ask a Genealogy Librarian – Unique Sources at the Center for Jewish History Thursday, August 24, 5 pm Eastern Time (U.S./Canada) The Center for Jewish History (CJH) houses the largest archive of the modern Jewish experience outside of Israel, illuminating the history and culture of Jewish communities around the world. Among the vast collections at CJH are many unique documents and hard-to-find books that provide information on individuals, families, and places. A few examples include client files of immigrant aid organizations, burial lists of landsmanshaftn (hometown societies) in New York, and books on Jewish history and life in towns and regions across the globe. However, finding items that pertain to your family history can be tricky. Moriah Amit, the CJH’s Senior Genealogy Librarian, will answer your questions about searching our online catalog, using archival finding aids, and determining what’s available online, as well as those about specific record types or collections. This program is appropriate for beginner and intermediate-level researchers of all Jewish backgrounds, Ashkenazi and Sephardi/Mizrahi. Please send us your most important questions by August 7 by replying to your registration confirmation email. NOTE: We will only accept questions submitted by individuals who have registered for this program. Tickets: Pay what you wish. Register for a Zoom link here. This program is sponsored by the Ackman & Ziff Family Genealogy Institute at the Center for Jewish History. --
