Help preserve Jewish heritage

Your support makes it possible for current and future generations to better understand the history of Israel and the Jewish peoplehood. Our photo archive is completely free and publicly accessible. To keep it that way, and to continue expanding our collections, we rely on contributions from people who believe that personal and collective memory matter.

Your gift will enable:

• The continued growth of our collections documenting Jewish and Israeli life
• The discovery and preservation of privately held photo collections
• The digitization of photographs
• Free access for educators, researchers, and the public
