Based in Providencia, Santiago, it was founded in 2016 by the Foundation for the Preservation of the Memory of Chilean Judaism.

It was also declared as a National Historical Monument in 2022, mainly due to its collection of unique and exclusive elements, including more than 70 thousand pieces and at least three thousand manuscripts.

[1] In the archive funds there is a variety of documents, letters, print media, photographs, postcards and other collectible elements of high interest to Judaism and the Jewish diaspora in Chile.

The majority has been obtained through donations from Jewish families residing in the country.
