Scope and Content
Phil H. Goodstein is a fourth generation Colorado native who grew up
as a member of the Beth HaMedrosh Hagadol (BMH) in Denver. He is a freelance
historian and has published numerous articles and books about Denver and
its history. This collection consists of materials related to the writing
of Exploring Jewish Colorado. The book explores Jewish history
and contemporary life in Colorado, and was published in March 1992.
The collection is organized by types of material into seven series: correspondence,
questionnaires, secondary sources, drafts, galley proofs, photographic
images and illustrations, and a computer diskette. It includes materials
dated from 1865 to 1992, with the majority of materials from the years
1991 to 1992. It also includes drafts for an article titled, "The Jews
of Capitol Hill," which was published in Rocky Mountain Jewish Historical
Notes, Summer/Fall 1990.
Dr. Goodstein donated this collection to the Center for Judaic Studies
at the University of Denver after publication of Exploring Jewish
Colorado. The collection was transferred to the Penrose Library Special
Collections/Archives at the University of Denver in 2000. Dr. Goodstein
has retained some materials used in writing the book in his personal collection.
Other collections containing materials that relate to Jewish history
and contemporary life in Colorado may be found in the Ira M. Beck Memorial
Archives of Rocky Mountain Jewish History located in Special Collections
at Penrose Library and at the Center for Judaic Studies at the University
of Denver, in the Solomon Shwayder collection which has been integrated
into Penrose Library at the University of Denver, in the Western History
Department of the Denver Public Library, and at the Colorado Historical
Society.
