The Nathan and Theresa Berman Upper Midwest Jewish Archives document the lives of Jewish communities in Minnesota, North and South Dakota and Western Wisconsin. Materials include personal papers, photographs, family scrapbooks, and publications, as well as business records of companies, organizations and synagogues. The archives, formerly held by the Jewish Historical Society of the Upper Midwest, have moved to the University of Minnesota Libraries and have grown in size. They are open to the public; appointments are encouraged. For information on the collections or how to donate materials to the archives, visit lib.umn.edu/umja.

For over 40 years, JHSUM has collected and preserved stories of the Jewish people of the Upper Midwest. Those stories, along with artifacts, are made available through programs, exhibits, high-quality publications and online at jhsum.org. Originally, our focus was on telling the stories and developing the archives. In 2012 we gifted those archives to the University of Minnesota, where they now reside as part of the Nathan and Theresa Berman Upper Midwest Jewish Archives. Our focus remains on sharing the stories of the Jewish history of our community.
