e have some 
good news from 
the Detroit 
Jewish News Foundation 
that we’d like to share with 
you. The Foundation is

First, in our efforts to 
continually improve the 
Jewish News Foundation 
website, it has been 
upgraded to be more 
visually appealing and for 
easier navigation. See the 
revisions for yourself at 
djnfoundation.org.
In addition, the 
Foundation website is the 
main portal to the William

Archive now holds more 
than 340,000 pages in its 
database. It is one of the 
best online newspaper 
archives in America and 
one of the leading archives 
for English-language Jewish 
publications.
The Davidson Digital 
Archive is also a permanent 
collection at the Bentley 
Historical Library at the 
University of Michigan and 
is hosted on U-M servers. 
The Archive includes almost

Jewish Chronicle from 
1916-1951 — one month of 
issues from 1916 cannot be 
located — and every page 
of the Detroit Jewish News, 
from its first issue on March 
27, 1942, to the last issue 
of 2021. New issues will be 
added every year. 
The database is free and
