Did you know the Capital Jewish Museum is always collecting stories, artifacts, photographs, and documents related to the Jewish experience in the DMV? We want your stuff! Join Director of Curatorial Affairs, Sarah Leavitt, at 1 pm to learn about CJM’s archives and what types of artifacts we collect. Register for this talk by clicking "register now" to your right.

Then, schedule a 15-minute appointment to sit with Collections Curator, Jonathan Edelman or Director of Curatorial Affairs, Sarah Leavitt, to share photographs of your artifacts and learn if they would be a good fit for the Museum’s collection. Appointments must be made in advance. Appointment times are available from 1:30 – 3:30 pm. Click here to schedule your appointment with Jonathan or click here to schedule your appointment with Sarah. You only need to schedule one appointment with either Jonathan or Sarah.

We also collect stories! Think about one artifact that has special meaning to you or your family's life in Jewish Washington. Then, schedule a 15-minute appointment with Oral Historian, Kerry Reed, bring the item, and record a mini-oral history in which you share your story. You’ll receive a copy of the recording, and it will be preserved in the Museum’s archives. Please bring the item with you – if the item is too large or fragile to transport, bring a photograph. Click here to schedule your appointment with Kerry.
