The Center for Jewish History is the campus to five partner organizations - American Jewish Historical Society, American Sephardi Federation, Leo Baeck Institute, Yeshiva University Museum, and YIVO Institute for Jewish Research. One of the most comprehensive collections for the documentation and exploration of the modern Jewish experience in the world, materials at the Center include millions of original, digital, and online resources such as old and rare books, periodical collections, photos, memoirs, official decrees, personal letters and contemporary publications about all aspects of Jewish identity. The museum collections include posters, paintings, sculptures, archeological artifacts, historical textiles and ceremonial objects. These rich and varied holdings define the Jewish people and their many cultures within the Diaspora.
