Unlocking North East Jewish Heritage

The Unlocking North East Jewish Heritage project aims to share key stories of North East Jewish communities, allowing them to be understood in their geographical, social and civic context.

The project is currently working to identify and digitise material held by Tyne & Wear Archives relating to these communities. We have also worked with a number of other regional archives to identify material and, where possible, have supported the digitisation of this material.

This website has been created to share the fascinating stories of the North East Jewish communities, bringing together the digitised material and research carried out through the project. This platform also provides online access to the wide range of material held in archives collections across the country.
