Mission Statement

The Oregon Jewish Museum is the Pacific Northwest's only Jewish museum, located in the region's second largest metropolitan area. The Oregon Jewish Museum's mission is dedicated to the preservation, research and exhibition of art, archival materials and artifacts of the Jewish people. It is the repository for archival documents, artifacts, and photographs concerning the history of the Jews in Oregon and endeavors to discover and collect all materials that may help to illuminate this history.

Description

The Museum brings innovative exhibitions about the history, culture and art of the Jewish people to this region--cultural enrichments that would be totally absent without its efforts. We aim to provide educational opportunities to a broad range of audiences, from youth to senior citizens, and those from all backgrounds.

While creating a transcript of a WWII veteran's experiences, I was fascinated and glad to help preserve his amazing adventures. However, to my regret I have lost contact with the Oregon Jewish Museum since the departure of the archivist.
