The Jacob Rader Marcus Center of the American Jewish Archives, located on
the Cincinnati campus of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion,
houses over ten million pages of documentation. It contains nearly 8,000
linear feet of archives, manuscripts, nearprint materials, photographs,
audio and video tapes, microfilm, and genealogical materials.  The AJA was
founded by the late Dr. Jacob Rader Marcus in 1947 in the aftermath of
World War II and the Holocaust. It was created at a time when the Jews of
America, now the largest and best educated Jewish community in history,
faced the awesome responsibility of preserving the continuity of Jewish
life and learning. For over a half century, the American Jewish Archives
has been preserving American Jewish history and imparting it to the next
generation.
