The JGSI Jewish Chicago RESOURCE PORTAL (JCRP)

- The subject database -

The JGSI Jewish Chicago Resource Portal (JCRP) is a searchable database that spans many Jewish Chicago sources. JCRP helps genealogists research their family history by subject - from "Anshes and Archives" to "Yeshivas and Yizkor Books" - by combining our historical records with public resources on Chicago's Jewish history.

JGSI is proud to offer free access to both members and non-members. This database is the result of many volunteer hours. New information is added over time, so please check back.
