Collections

Deed to James B. Peck for land in Litchfield, Conn.

The collection which consists of about 800 items, includes primary source material relating to the communal life of British Jewry from the middle of the 19th century up to the 1970s. Of particular interest are the publications of synagogues in London and other centers of Jewish life in England commemorating special occasions in the life of the congregation or major events taking place in Great Britain. These include sermons preached by the local rabbi, editions of special prayer services in honor of the consecration of a synagogue, and memorial services for notable Jewish personages and for members of the royal family. Among the prayer pamphlets found in the collection are those held in many synagogues when England entered World War I and II and in memory of those who died in those wars. The bylaws and financial records of many congregations are also included in the collection as well as the publications of lectures on various topics delivered there. The collection provides a broad picture of Jewish religious, communal, and social life over a period of more than a hundred years.
