resources
These on-line resources are a handy starting point for anyone interested in learning more about South African Jewish history.
The links below include specialist websites including:
-
Details of local Jewish communities, both existent and now defunct
-
Community archives
-
Genealogical and naturalisation resources

General Jewish South African interest
Many of these sites, and the information that they contain, are the product of dedicated volunteers who have researched areas of personal interest.
The museum is grateful to them for their foresight, and their willingness to share their findings.
“One of the deepest impulses in man is the impulse to record, to scratch a drawing on a tusk or keep a diary… The enduring value of the past is, one might say, the very basis of civilisation.”
John Jay Chapman, American author (1862-1933)
