Abstract The Jewish News Photographic Collection consists of over 10,000 photographs and other documentation donated by the Jewish News of Greater Phoenix to the Arizona Jewish Historic Society in May 2007. The Jewish News of Greater Phoenix is a privately owned weekly newspaper reporting on local, national and international stories of interest to the Jewish community of metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona. The newspaper has been published continuously since 1948. The collection spans the six decades of the newspaper’s existence with most of the material dating from the 1960’s and onwards. The photographs in the collection depict all aspects of Jewish life in Phoenix including religious celebrations, cultural and social events, and political and business figures. Pictures of special occasions such as weddings, graduations, and bar and bat mitzvahs are also part of the collection. Many of the photographs commemorate milestones such as newly built temples, Jewish Community Centers, the Valley’s first Jewish day school, or the first meeting of the Jewish Women’s Federation. There are also photographs of members of the community in many facets of everyday life. Together, the pictures document the evolution of a community; they offer a look at the changes, achievements, and progress of the Phoenix Jewish community over the years. Funding for this exhibit has been provided by a grant from the Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Phoenix.

Record Info Records originated with the DLF Newsletter, 2000-2005, from which they were converted into a FileMaker database. The FileMaker DB was imported into a database system currently maintained by the Grainger Engineering Library Information Center, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Records for collections added after 2005 were created in this database as part of the Aquifer American Social History Online project. This database is currently being maintained as part of the Aquifer American Social History Online project. 2010-01-06 eng English Digital Library Federation (DLF) oai:dlfcollectionsregistry.grainger.uiuc.edu:71161
