Our Temple Archives, housed in the Frances Shapiro-Weitzenhoffer Archives Room, represents a permanent holding of historic materials chronicling the significant people, places and events of the past century and a half, since the establishment of our congregation by charter in January 1843.  We are a founding member of the Reform movement. Our archive, therefore, includes not only material of local interest, but relevant national material significant to the Classical period of Reform Judaism.

​

Our Archives has many interesting displays, which are changed periodically. Currently we are featuring displays on Classical Reform Judaism, the first 6 buildings and 19 rabbis that made up The Temple, pre-consolidation, Justice Louis D. Brandeis and many items from Brith Sholom's 2nd & College Temple. Also, we have many Temple artifacts, books, records going back to the early days of Adath Israel and Brith Sholom, and over 80 oral histories. Currently we are in the process of recording personal video histories.
