The Guide to Collections is is an introduction to the archives and manuscript collections at the Jewish Historical Society of Greater Hartford. The guide features a brief description of each collection of materials for which we have at least one fourth of a cubic foot of documents. Therefore, the guide does not list each and every organization, synagogue, or family of note in the Greater Hartford area.

The Guide can be downloaded in the following formats:
