SSCPL Roundtable: Synagogue Archives
Wednesday, January 11, 2023
4:00 pm PT / 7:00 pm ET
Synagogue archives are rapidly up-and-coming community archive repositories. Often run by committed volunteers, librarians, or others, they tend to fall outside the bounds of “traditional” archives. In this roundtable, we will discuss the basics of archives and synagogue archives and highlight available resources, with the aim of creating a support network for those who have taken responsibility for a synagogue archive.
Hannah Srour-Zackonis the archivist and museum director at Congregation Shaar Hashomayim in Montreal, Quebec—Canada’s second oldest synagogue. She is a member of the executive board of AJL-Canada and serves on the AJL Jewish Fiction Award and Education committees.
