[Identification of item], American Jewish University Digital Archive, American Jewish University, Bel-Air, CA 90077.
These photographs were assembled from both campuses of American Jewish University. They were digitized in order to provide
broader access to the cultural and social history of the Jewish community of the Great Los Angeles area. This collection aims
to preserve and organize the American Jewish University’s history by digitizing hundreds of photographs and records from the
1940s until present day. Photographs are uploaded online to the American Jewish University, Digital Archive through OCLC’s
Contentdm and can be viewed at the Callimachus Contentdm site.
American Jewish University, with its Familian campus in Bel Air, California and Brandeis-Bardin campus in Simi Valley, California,
is the outcome of the 2007 union of Brandeis-Bardin Institute (BBI) and the University of Judaism (UJ). For more information,

Scope and Content of Collection
The American Jewish University Digital Archive includes photographs, scrapbooks, and ephemera depicting people, places and
events that document the history from 1941 to the present, of the University of Judaism and the Brandeis-Bardin Institute
which merged to become American Jewish University in 2007.
These photographs include great Jewish thinkers who founded AJU and were involved with its growth over the years. The creation
of both institutions was made possible by philanthropists to whom we owe the building of University of Judaism and the Brandeis-Bardin
Institute.
The collection aims to preserve and organize the American Jewish University’s history by digitizing hundreds of photographs
and records from the 1940s until present day.
Items digitized represent a fraction of the archived material housed at both the Familian Campus and Brandeis-Bardin Campus
of American Jewish University. Consult the library for further information.
This collection is organized by the identifier number it is given as it is digitized ("cajuol_" for photographs; "a_cajuol"
