Web Site Review

Jewish Women's Archive <http://www.jwa.org>. Created and maintained by the Jewish Women's Archive (Gail Twersky Reimer, executive director). Reviewed April 11–15, 2004.

Founded in 1995, the Jewish Women's Archive (JWA) is far more than an archive. The home page of its Web site invites the reader to "Discover," "Teach," and "Research." In line with that mission and with its desired aim to "uncover, chronicle, and transmit" the history of North American Jewish women, its pages include a wide array of sources: oral history projects, biographical sketches with links to the institutions that house the subject's archival papers, and primary sources by and about these subjects with proposed classroom activities for educators. Viewers can explore brief histories of selected North American Jewish women thematically, linked by such varied themes as civil rights, western pioneers, and midwives. They can also read the life histories and see primary documents about the "trail-blazing women" chosen for their "Women of Valor" exhibit. The documents (news articles, organizational minutes, speeches, broadsides, and cartoons, to name a few) date from 1800 forward; the majority are from the last century.
