Resources on Southern Jewish History

The Breman Museum is committed to preserving and nurturing the proud history of Jewish life in the Southeastern United States through our exhibitions, history resources, archival holdings, and educational offerings. Our Cuba Family Archives house the largest repository for Jewish archival material in the region and have an ongoing oral history initiative geared towards preserving the memories and experiences of our eldest generations. The links below will take you to some of our resources on Southern Jewish History, and if you don't find the information you need we encourage you to Ask the Archivist about your research topic or general search for knowledge on Jewish history in America.
