English.Correspondence,
minutes, administrative files, financial records, newsletters, exhibit files,
and other records of the Washington State Jewish Historical Society, which
promotes interest in and knowledge of the life, history, and culture of Jewish
people and communities of the State of WashingtonIn 1968, Elsa Levinson, chairwoman of the Women’s Division for the
Jewish Federation of Seattle, approached a University of Washington Historian
with the idea of creating a Jewish Historical Society and Museum. She was
referred to Richard C. Berner, head of the University Archives and Manuscripts
Division. Berner envisioned a collection of primary sources documenting the
Jewish community. This tied in with his vision of documenting various ethnic
groups throughout the region which were underrepresented in the collection. The
Seattle Jewish History Project was created.
Spearheaded by volunteers from the Jewish Federation Women’s Division
and then supported by staff members from the UW Manuscripts division, the early
efforts of the project was to collect oral histories from longtime Jewish
community members. Gradually, the focus expanded to also collecting the records
of the synagogues and large Jewish organizations in the area. Later, personal
papers and photographs, albeit copies, were collected as well.
In 1978, the exhibit “Ancestry and Achievement: An Exhibit of the
Early Beginnings of the Seattle Jewish Community” was held at Suzzallo Library
to showcase the first decade of collecting. The exhibit ran all summer and many
groups were brought in to see it. It received a great response from the Jewish
community as it showcased what an archives actually was. Donations to the
collections increased, not only from Seattle but from Jewish communities from
around the State.
The growing interest and excitement from this 1978 exhibit coalesced
in the formation of the Washington State Jewish Historical Society in 1980 to
support the Jewish Archives as part of its broader goal to “discover, preserve
and disseminate the history of the Jews of Washington State.” The Society
supports the Archives financially and creates programming and exhibits based on
the materials from the Archives. After the 1978 exhibit, for example, a local
philanthropist approached the Federation to fund a book on the history of the
Seattle Jewish community. In 2003, this book was published. Sponsored by the
Society, Family of Strangers was written by 3 local Jewish authors and it is
the bible of Seattle Jewish History.
In 2010, the agreement between Special Collections and the Historical
Society was formalized and spelled out the responsibilities of each party. The
Historical Society’s Archives Committee actively collects materials from the
community, including conducting oral histories. They also provide a part-time
Archivist who works with Special Collections’ staff to manage the collection.
For its part, Special Collections assimilates the Jewish Archives into its
holdings, storing them in their facilities and providing physical and
intellectual access according to their policies and procedures as well as
office space and support for the archivist.
In 2011, the Jewish Archives Project was renamed the Washington State
Jewish Archives.
