MAKE A DONATION
A tribute or memorial gift to the Dallas Jewish Historical Society is a meaningful way to honor a friend or loved one, or to celebrate any special occasion. Consider making a contribution in any amount. “Get Well,” “In Honor of,” or “In Blessed Memory of” contributions will be acknowledged to both the recipient and the sender.
GINGER CHESNICK JACOBS HISTORICAL TOUR & OUTREACH FUND
This fund, named in memory of Dallas Jewish Historical Society founder Ginger Chesnick Jacobs, provides funding to support guided tours of places of meaning and historical interest to the Greater Dallas Jewish community and to support outreach activities that engage, educate, and share the rich cultural history of Jewish Dallas.
NAXON FAMILY PROJECT FUND
This fund, begun by the Naxon Family in memory of William Naxon, a Dallas Jewish Historical Society supporter, provides funding for films, author events, lectures, exhibits and other programs and projects of the DJHS, designed to engage, educate and enrich the lives of our membership and the Greater Dallas community.
HELP US REACH OUR DIGITIZATION GOALS!
The purpose of this most recent fund is to meet an urgent need for high quality, large format digital scanners. As we continue to preserve and protect Jewish history here in Dallas, and our Archive continues to grow, we will need to digitize thousands of photographs, documents, and images of artifacts, many of which are larger than the standard 8½” x 11″ scanners. The ST600 Overhead Book Scanner, and the IQ FLEX Large Format Scanner, will allow us to realize our goal of becoming a fully functional online Digital Repository.
DONATIONS OF HISTORICAL ITEMS
Our main purpose at DJHS is the preservation of historical items of local interest, including photographs, documents, artifacts, and business and organizational records. We do accept donations of these types of items, subject to certain conditions. Please contact Debra Polsky, Executive Director, or call 214-239-7120 for information about donating an item to the collection.
