The North American Jewish Data Bank is the central
repository of social scientific studies of North American
Jewry. The Data Bank’s primary functions are to (1) acquire,
archive, and disseminate quantitative data sets and reports,
both contemporary and historical and (2) encourage
utilization of the archive through training and provide
information about methods for studying Jewish communities.
Our goal is to aid in understanding North American Jewish communities,
and to improve the quality and utilization of research
conducted about North American Jewry.
Holdings
The Data Bank archives and makes available electronically questionnaires, reports and data files from the National Jewish Population Surveys (NJPS) of
1971,
1990 and
2000-01.
The Data Bank is the sole distributor of the NJPS 2000-01 dataset, and has archived a large collection of related materials. In addition to the NJPS studies, the Data Bank provides access to other national Jewish population reports, including the American Jewish Identity Survey (AJIS) and the Survey of Heritage and
Religious Identification (HARI), 2002. Approximately 200 local Jewish community studies from the major Jewish communities in North America are also included in the Data Bank holdings. The most recently released local community studies are always highlighted in the What's New link.
About Us
The North American Jewish Data Bank is a collaborative project of United
Jewish Communities and the University of Connecticut's Center for Judaic Studies and Contemporary Jewish Life
and Roper
Center for Public Opinion Research.
