The Ackman & Ziff Family Genealogy Institute at the Center for Jewish History was established in 2007 to tap into the vast archival records of the Center for Jewish History’s five historic and cultural partners, in order to assist novice, academic, and professional researchers in reconnecting with ancestors and living relatives. The Institute provides access to a wealth of genealogical resources through the Center for Jewish History’s partner collections and the Institute’s extensive reference collection, online databases, and a variety of research guides for the beginner and the seasoned researcher.
