In recognition of the $2 million gift,
the archive will be known as the William
Davidson Digital Archive of Detroit
Jewish History.
"We are grateful to the William
Davidson Foundation for recognizing and
appreciating the value and importance of
preserving, protecting and bringing to life
more than 100 consecutive years of infor-
mation contained in the Detroit Jewish
News and the Detroit Jewish Chronicle
Detroit Jewish News Foundation presi-
dent Arthur Horwitz said.
"This content tells the story, in infi-
nite detail, of the tens of thousands of
Detroiters — and their families — who
continue to make our Jewish community
among the most admired in America.
"Historians view the 20th century as
America's Century' and 'Detroit's Century:
There is no person more fitting to be
forever associated with the ongoing story
of the Detroit Jewish community and its
greatest century than William Davidson:'
Horwitz added.
Davidson, former chairman, president
and CEO of Guardian Industries Corp.,
former owner of Palace Sports and
Entertainment and former managing
partner of the Detroit Pistons Basketball
Club, made philanthropy his personal
mission.
The William Davidson Foundation
is a family foundation established in
2005 in Detroit. The foundation honors
Mr. Davidson's memory by continuing
his philanthropic goals focusing on two
areas. First, it's committed to preserving
and enhancing Jewish life in the United
States and abroad. Second, it funds efforts
to improve the economic prosperity of
its home community in Southeastern
Michigan in order to make the region an
even more desirable place to work and
live.
Since launching on Nov. 18, 2013, the
270,000-page Detroit Jewish News digital
archive has attracted more than 10,000
visitors accessing more than 30,000 pages
of content dating to the publication's first
issue in 1942. Its Google-style search
capabilities provide users with fast and
efficient results. It can be accessed via
www.djnfoundation.org .
The Detroit Jewish News Foundation
is in the midst of a separate campaign to
raise the one-time resources needed to
digitize the content of the approximately
90,000-page Detroit Jewish Chronicle.

Founded in 1914, the Detroit Jewish
Chronicle was merged into the Detroit
Jewish News in 1951. The Detroit Jewish
Chronicle's content resides on rolls of
microfilm that have been largely inac-
cessible for decades.
The Detroit Jewish Chronicle digiti-
zation is scheduled for completion in
2015 and will be fully integrated into
the William Davidson Digital Archive of
Detroit Jewish History.
The Detroit Jewish News Foundation is
a 501(c)(3) independent nonprofit orga-
nization created in July 2011 to pursue
an educational, cultural and scholarly
mission focused on providing the oppor-
tunity for any and all to research, learn,
discuss and know the story of the Jewish
community of Detroit
As a community, we are truly standing
on the shoulders of the ones who came
before us:' Horwitz said. "The William
Davidson Archive of Detroit Jewish
History will ensure that we can quickly
and easily tap into the thinking and doing
of our wisest leaders who, in many cases,
faced the same challenges and opportuni-
ties that confront us today. Concurrently,
we will be able to discover and enjoy
content that helps us to more fully under-
stand and appreciate our personal and
family histories:'
