Our award-winning exhibition “An Ethnic History of New Haven, Pre-1638 to 2000 and Beyond” — based on more than two centuries of U.S. Census data documenting New Haven’s immigration history and ethnic diversity — has toured around the state and been displayed at UConn, the SCSU Buley Library and New Haven City Hall. It is currently on view at the EHC. Individuals and groups can make an appointment with us to view the exhibition.
You can also see an online version of the exhibition here.
Sunday, March 2, 2pm — 3rd Annual Judith Ann Schiff Women’s History Month Program
Join member society JHSGNH at the New Haven Museum on Sunday, March 2, 2025 at 2pm for a program on the lives of seven local Jewish women who we interviewed as part of an oral history project in 2008. Their stories relate the many ways American women contributed to the war effort. From running the family business and managing homefront challenges to serving in the Navy’s WAVES and working in factories as “Rosie the Riveters,” their stories highlight resilience, courage, and ingenuity. Using oral histories and historical documents, this event will bring to life the personal narratives of these women. Stay tuned for more information!
