In early 1973 PJAC’s first Board approved some goals for the Archives: 1. Collect material from Philadelphia, Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery Counties in Pennsylvania and invite participation of the Camden [County] Jewish community. 2. Collect broadly without an attempt to distinguish between records of Jews and the Jewish community but restrict to regional interests. 3. Principal mission is to collect, store and provide convenient access to documentary and pictorial information. We should not encourage requests to become a museum. 4. Actively encourage students and scholars to use the Archives
