Hidden Treasures is a dedicated initiative celebrating the vast history of British Jewish archives. This organization supports a nationwide network of archives and archivists, showcasing invaluable materials that reflect the experiences of Jewish communities across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and the Isle of Man over the past millennium.

Through events, lectures, and collaborative projects, Hidden Treasures unearths and preserves the narratives and artifacts that highlight the social, cultural, and religious contributions of Jews in the UK. Notable items include an 18th-century English Machzor, Menasseh Ben Israel’s petition to Oliver Cromwell from 1655, and a remarkable 8th-century Judaeo-Persian letter from the Jewish community in Kaifeng, China.

Hidden Treasures also provides expert assistance for queries related to Jewish archival materials, inviting new archives to join their network. By connecting individuals and communities, Hidden Treasures fosters a deeper understanding and appreciation of Jewish heritage throughout British history.
