As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, archival collections are comprised of photographs, documents, and artifacts of historical significance that are held for educational, research and curatorial purposes. Each of the items is catalogued, preserved, and cared for, and activities verifying their existence and assessing their condition are performed continuously.

The objective of the Capital Jewish Museum is to gather, preserve, interpret, and present historic materials supporting the Jewish presence in the greater Washington area. These collections support the continuous exploration of Jewish heritage in the greater Washington area through the use of educational exhibititons and development of educational programs provided by the Museum.

It is the policy of the Museum to annually transfer five percent of the average fair market value of the permanently restricted net assets and their earnings to operations for the preceding three fiscal years. These transfers are made under the assumption that investment earnings, on average, will exceed the amount of the transfer.

The Museum was incorporated in 1965 as the Jewish Historical Society of Greater Washington, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving Jewish history in the Washington area. In 1969, galvanized by the pending demolition of the oldest synagogue in the nation's capital, the Society mobilized the community and saved the city's oldest synagogue building by moving it three blocks to the corner of Third & G Streets, NW. After restoration, the synagogue, listed on the National Register for Historic Places and DC Inventory of Historic Sites, was opened to the public and has been maintained as a site for visitors to experience Jewish history through archival collections, exhibits, and educational programs. In 2018, the JHSGW adopted the new name of the Lillian & Albert Small Capital Jewish Museum as the organization prepares to build and launch a new public museum. In January 2019, the historic synagogue was moved as part of the massive Capitol Crossing development to the corner of Third & F Streets, where it will become the centerpiece of our new museum. The new Capital Jewish Museum will inspire visitors to connect, reflect and act: connect across families and diverse communities, reflect on the relevance of the past to today, and act on behalf of their communities and values. Currently, the Museum is completing architectural designs with SmithGroup architectural firm and developing the exhibition and experiential plans for the new Museum. Although the historic synagogue is closed during the construction process, the Museum continues to engage the public through a variety of educational programs, walking tours, lectures, school programs, and other activities. The Museum's collections of historic artifacts, photographs, documents, and oral histories continue to grow and are accessible for researchers in the community and around the world.
