Historical Background
The Washington State Jewish Historical Society began with a group of community volunteers, who obtained funding in 1968 to create the Seattle Jewish Archives Project under the auspices of the Women's Division of the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle. The Project then entered into a cooperative agreement with the University of Washington Libraries, Special Collections, for the maintenance and storage of the material.
In 1980, the Archives became an independent nonprofit entity and the Washington State Jewish Historical Society was established.
