The Western Jewish History Center (WJHC) was established in 1967 at the Judah L. Magnes Museum to collect, preserve, and provide
access to archival and oral history documentation about the Jewish community in the American West. The center was created
by Seymour Fromer under the direction of Moses Rischin, and from an early stage saw the involvement of a series of archivists
and local historians, including Ruth Kelson Rafael, Fred Rosenbaum and Ava Kahn. The archival collections collected by the
Western Jewish History Center are now part of the Western Jewish Americana archives of The Magnes Collection of Jewish Art
and Life at the Bancroft Library, and encompass the entire western United States beginning with the 1849 Gold Rush and continuing
to the present, with a specific focus on the Jewish experience in California and the San Francisco Bay Area.
