Preserving the Past

The Museum has more than 4,000 items in its collection, including Judaica, household items, business records, photographs, letters, and other ephemera. 

As with most museums, only a small part of our collection will be on exhibit at any time. The remainder is housed in climate-controlled storage, where it can be cataloged, conserved, and made available to researchers for study and to other museums for loans.

The Museum continues to grow its collection through donations of items but is selective in what it accepts. Physical space and the ability to properly conserve and store items limit what the Museum will accept into its collection.
