We collect and archive historical artifacts, documents, and photographs that tell the story of Jewish life in North Carolina, from early settlements to the present day. Our work supports a deeper understanding of this vital part of the state’s heritage.

Through engaging programs and educational initiatives, we connect and enhance diverse Jewish communities and promote familiarity with Jewish culture and lifestyle to the broader public.

Historical Society and Museums, Historical Sites, and Zoos are central to our mission.
