Welcome to the new website of the Columbus Jewish Historical Society.

The Society preserves the stories, artifacts, images and heritage of the Jewish communities of Central Ohio.

Please excuse the appearance of the website as we continue to transfer files over from the previous website and bring new features online.

Eventually, you will be able to find resources to help you find out more about relatives and ancestors, and about life in the Columbus area in days gone by. An extensive set of transcribed oral histories will be available for reading; you will be able search the burial records of Jewish cemeteries in Central, Eastern and Southern Ohio, as well as in neighboring communities in West Virginia; you will be able to look through a sample of photos from the 1940s through the 1970s taken by local photographer Herb Topy; and searches can be made of the archives of The Ohio Jewish Chronicle, a Jewish newspaper that has been publishing since 1922.

Please explore this site using the menu bar at the top of the page, and accept our apologies as we get the site up to speed.
