The story of American cities can be told in its waves of new immigrants and arrivals throughout the past several centuries. Philadelphia is no exception to this rich brocade of human existence and this digital collection from Temple University tells part of the fantastic story. This offering brings together photographs from the Philadelphia Jewish Archives and other agencies, including the Association for Jewish Children Records, the Levinthal Family Papers, and the Hebrew Sunday School Society Records. All told, there are almost 2,700 images here and visitors can perform detailed searches across the entire archive as they see fit. First-time users may wish to get started by keyword searching for "rabbi," "greeting cards," "architecture," or "celebration."
