ABSTRACT
The collection at the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education (OJMCHE) is the largest documented and visual history of the Jewish people of Oregon: those whose families arrived as some of the earliest European settlers, those who have arrived as refugees of the Holocaust and from the Soviet Union, and American Jews who have relocated to make Oregon their home. Our collections constitute the material culture of the Jewish community in books, journals, manuscripts, papers, photographs, maps, audio recordings, ceremonial objects, and ethnographic artifacts representing families, clubs, synagogues, businesses, philanthropic organizations, and community agencies from the mid-1800s to the present day.
