Dallas Jewish Historical Society

The Dallas Jewish Historical Society was established in 1971 with the mission of “preserving the precious past as a living legacy for our community.” The agency is the only one that actively collects, preserves, and records the history of the entire Greater Dallas Jewish Community for research purposes. The Dallas Jewish Historical Society is a partner agency of the Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas and is primarily supported by membership contributions. The Dallas Jewish Historical Society serves as a repository for the entire Jewish community of Dallas. In its holdings are personal and family papers, recorded oral histories, artifacts, and records of the various organizations which comprise the Jewish community in Greater Dallas.
