Research

Our brand-new collection store, found on the ground floor of our new museum, holds the majority of our collection that isn’t already on public display. It includes:

  • Over 530 oral history testimonies including 138 recorded interviews with Holocaust Survivors and refugees
  • Over 20,000 photographs
  • A wide-ranging collection of objects, documents and ephemera

Find out more about our collection.

Our collection store is open to the public for research enquiries. Access is available by appointment only, please fill the below enquiry form and email it to our curator Alex Cropper to arrange your booking: curator@manchesterjewishmuseum.com

We don’t specialise in family history and genealogy. To explore your Jewish ancestry we would recommend getting in touch with the Jewish Genealogical Society of Great Britain (JGSGB).

Donations

We collect and archive documents, photographs, oral histories, artwork and objects that relate specifically to Manchester’s Jewish history and heritage.

If you have something you would like to donate please fill the below donation form and email it to our curator Alex Cropper: curator@manchesterjewishmuseum.com

Unfortunately we are not able to accept everything we are offered. If we already have good examples of an object within the collections we are unlikely to accept more and there are some types of objects that we almost never acquire now.

Currently we are particularly interested in items that represent the orthodox community of Manchester.

Please note, Alex works part time Tuesday to Thursday each week.
