Giving to the Innovations in Jewish Life Collections
Post-Holocaust American Judaism and Jewish Studies Archive Fund
The Post-Holocaust American Judaism and Jewish Studies Archive Fund supports the preservation, processing, and digitization of materials in the Post-Holocaust American Judaism Collections.
This fund also supports student work and fellowships in the archives, providing students with opportunities to learn about archival materials and conduct original research.
Mazal Holocaust Collection Fund
The Mazal Holocaust Collection Fund supports archival processing, cataloging, and other necessary activities related to preserving the Mazal Holocaust Collection and related collections held at the University of Colorado Boulder.
James and Diane Shneer Endowed Fellowship Fund
The James and Diane Shneer Endowed Fellowship Fund supports the initiative to make the University of Colorado Boulder a center for the study of American Judaism after the Holocaust. To accomplish that goal, the Fund supports the active effort of building archival resources for research, hosting scholars conducting that research, and supporting students to learn the skills of information management, archiving, and digital literacy.
This fund annually supports a visiting scholar, whose research interests take advantage of the unique resources in the Post-Holocaust American Judaism Collections. Learn more about the James and Diane Shneer Fellowship in Post-Holocaust American Judaism here.
Donating Materials
There are a number of benefits to donating items to an archive. Not only are archivists able to preserve the items physically, but archives also provide opportunities for researchers, scholars, and students to gain deeper understandings of the Post-Holocaust American Judaism experience.
Collection donations to the Innovations in Jewish Life are handled on a case-by-case basis. Please use our contact form if you are interested in making a material donation.
