Between 2015 and 2017, former director of the Rauh Jewish History Program & Archives David Schlitt supervised and participated in a program to document the lives of Jews in Western Pennsylvania called the Small Town Jewish History Project. Schlitt’s paper offers an overview of the project, highlights the questions and challenges that emerged during the two-year period he was involved, and discusses ways that initiatives like the Small Town Jewish History Project can challenge dominant historical narratives and contribute to future historiographic trends.
