We tell the story of the human experience through Jewish eyes.

JHSFC programs/events are community oriented, fun, informative and educational. JHSFC events help provide operating costs for the archive and additional funding for exhibits. JHSFC programs include Lectures, Book Talks, Bissel Yiddish, L'Dor V'Dor Intergenerational Project and much more. Most programs are Free and Open to the public.
Programs
The Vivian and Irwin Miller Archive consist of thousands of photographs, documents, books, oral histories, artifacts, etc. from Fairfield County and beyond.
Thanks to the generosity of the Freedman family, the archives has had a home for many years.
