Welcome to the Museum of Pennsylvania Jewish History
The Museum of Pennsylvania Jewish History is a research forum curated by students at the Pennsylvania State University to share their research about Pennsylvania’s Jewish history.
The virtual museum includes research from Penn State students enrolled in JST/HIST115, The American Jewish Experience, who can participate in an additional one credit embedded course to visit historical sites, archives, and people around Pennsylvania to explore the state’s Jewish past, and students in Penn State’s Jewish Studies Department who conduct research in other courses or for their honor’s thesis about Pennsylvania’s Jewish history. Student researchers have the opportunity to take photographs, collect documents, conduct interviews, and write about their findings for the website.
