Exhibitions utilize the images, documents, artifacts and oral histories of the Society collections. We also partner with other museums to bring national traveling exhibitions to the area and to display at the Mandell Jewish Community Center.
Many of our ongoing projects are grant funded. We work with volunteers and professionals to collect, process, document and disseminate the history of the Greater Hartford Jewish community. The JHSGH Archive consists of over 30 collections and over two thousand oral history interviews. The JHSGH Archive consists of over 40 large collections, over two thousand oral history interviews, and a growing number of photographs and artifacts.
The Society has published a series of scholarly journals about Jewish farmers, Jews in Politics, historic synagogues and the Soviet Jewish community.
We have collected hundreds of stories and anecdotes about growing up in Hartford’s neighborhoods, Jewish lawyers and communities around Connecticut.
Our books make great gifts anytime!
