Leadership, Center for Jewish History

Peter Baldwin is the chairman of the Center for Jewish History (CJH) in New York City. He is also the co-founder with Lisbet Rausing of Arcadia, a charitable fund. Arcadia recently donated a grant of $2.5 million to CJH, which is intended to ensure the sustainability of the digitization and preservation efforts of the Center, the foremost repository of Jewish history outside of Israel. “We are proud to support this effort to make a vast and unique collection freely available online,” Baldwin said of Arcadia’s grant.
