Visiting the Archives
The Museum maintains one of the largest archives of Holocaust-related materials west of the Mississippi River. In fact, the Museum’s founding survivors began the Museum to preserve their few cherished objects remaining after the war, to use them to teach others about the Holocaust, and to commemorate their lost loved ones by doing so.
Primary historical objects remain protected in a fire-proof, humidity-and temperature-controlled room, and hundreds of books line the shelves of our library. The archives are open to journalists, students, scholars, documentarians and other members of the public in supervised visits. Please contact our archivist, Vladimir Melamed, Ph.D., vladimir@lamoth.org to arrange a visit.
