Since 1972, when Joseph Levine of Fort Wayne founded the Indiana Jewish Historical society (IJHS), this state-wide organization has been building up its archival collection. Today the ever-growing collection is housed by the Indiana Historical Society and is open to the public to use for research on site. Some of the earliest documents in the collection date back to the beginning of the 1800s.

Dr. Wendy Soltz will highlight ten documents from the collection and an overview of IJHS. This talk is part of a series of Top 10 programs which focus on synagogues and temples, and Jewish cemeteries, monuments, houses, and businesses across Indiana.

Dr. Wendy Soltz is the Executive Director of the Indiana Jewish Historical Society.
