Indexes for Western States Jewish History Journals

Western States Jewish History — parent of the Jewish Museum of the American West — has published four journals per year for 50 years.

Much of the material in the Jewish Museum of the American West comes from our vast library of articles researched over five decades.

While our Museum Exhibits are limited in scope, researchers, family members, and genealogists can have access to the complete articles by ordering back issues of Western States Jewish History.

Western States Jewish History Journal

47 Year Index

Volumes 1 through 47

Volumes 48-50 to be added soon

There are three different indexes, each starting with Volume 1, Number 1 (October 1968) and continue through Volume 47, Number 3/4 (Spring/Summer 2014). They include 175+ separate issues, covering a great deal of Jewish history in the Western United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Pacific Rim.

Index #1 is organized by the main person of the listed article.

Index #2 is organized by the general location of the listed article and is used when a main person is not listed.

Index #3 is for special Double and Triple Length Special Issues.

Always check Index #1 first for research purposes.

In a few cases, articles are listed twice, in different issues, in a given index. Through the years, WSJH has reached into its past to produce special issues. For example: Volume 27, Number 3 (April 1995) is a special issue on California, Earthquakes, and Jews. Many earlier articles were selected and updated, where appropriate, by Rabbi Dr. William M. Kramer.

Volume 28 Numbers 3 & 4 and Volume 29, Number 1 were special issues on the Sephardic Jews of the West. Many of the chapters of these three volumes also came from earlier articles in WSJH, and many were revised or up-dated by Rabbi Dr. Kramer.
