While the Centre has an interest in local Jewish history, we regret that we do not have the resources to respond to individual requests for information. If you’re interested in archives held at the university (www.manchesterjewishstudies.org/judaica-collection/), please contact the university archivists (www.library.manchester.ac.uk/special-collections/contact/). Otherwise we suggest that you contact the Manchester Jewish Museum (www.manchesterjewishmuseum.com/contact-us/) but please note that they are in the process of moving premises and are unlikely to be able to help. You can also contact the local studies unit of the Manchester Central Library (https://secure.manchester.gov.uk/directory_record/212391/jewish_records) where many local Jewish historical archives are held. In terms of local experts, you could contact local professional Jewish genealogist Dr Ros Livshin (email: rosalyn.livshin@googlemail.com) or Tereza Ward (tereza.ward@postgrad.manchester.ac.uk).
