Research Portfolio

In its efforts to promote academic research in and the teaching of Jewish Genealogy, as well as the production of tools and technologies for the Jewish family historian, the Institute has built up a portfolio of recommended research studies and projects, which have been proposed by IIJG members and known scholars.
