The Cleveland Jewish Archives, one of many ethnic collections at the WRHS, can be accessed through the online catalog of the Western Reserve Historical Society. Researchers can look for materials by author, title, and subject keyword. Some subject headings useful in accessing Jewish collections are:  

• Jews - Ohio - Cleveland 
• Holocaust survivors - Ohio  
• Jewish - American newspapers - Cleveland  
• Jews - Ohio - Cleveland - Charities  
• Jewish religious education - Ohio  
• Jewish women  
• Rabbis - Ohio 
• Synagogues - Ohio 
• Zionism  

Researchers working within the topic of Jewish history will be greatly aided by the 92-page Guide to Jewish History Sources in the History Library of the Western Reserve Historical Society (1983) and its supplement (2000) which describes the major manuscript, photographic, and printed materials of research value collected since the publication of the Guide. The guide and its supplement are available for use in the library, but they can also be purchased at the Library or by mail from Past and Presents, the WRHS gift shop, for $9.95 plus $2 postage. Visit the Publications Page for more information.
