The Washington State Jewish Historical Society is dedicated to discovering, preserving, and disseminating the history of the Jews of Washington State. This unique history is shared through publications, exhibits, displays, speakers, and tours. The material for these endeavors is gleaned from the Jewish Archives Project, a joint program of the Washington State Jewish Historical Society and the University of Washington Libraries.

The archives are housed at the University of Washington Allen Library in the Manuscripts, Special Collections, and University Archives Division. Archives consist of organizational records and individuals' papers, photographs and oral histories dating back to the earliest Jewish settlement in Washington State.
