Jewish Life and History at Brown University

As part of the upcoming 130 Years of Jewish Life at Brown celebration in November 2025, a group of alumni is partnering with the Brown University Library to create a digital archive focused on the lived experience of Jewish students, alumni, staff, and faculty at Brown. Through personal oral and written histories, documents, videos, and photos, the Brown Jewish Digital Archive aims to capture the rich, vibrant, and diverse history of Jews at Brown and provide a resource to researchers in conjunction with the Brown University Archives.
