The AJA contains over 10 million pages of documents, manuscripts, genealogical materials, as well as thousands of audiovisual recordings, photographs, microfilm, and digital collections. The AJA online catalog is the gateway to this vast collection of primary source material detailing the history of the Jewish experience in the Americas. It serves as an easy and effective tool for researching, browsing, or planning a visit to our facility. Along with providing detailed descriptions of the majority of our manuscript collections, the AJA’s catalog also provides bibliographic records for the entirety of our holdings. The AJA’s digitized collections are also featured on our catalog’s home page for quick access and viewing.
