Subject: The Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue


Can readers tell me, or suggest a resource for establishing which are the
oldest institutions in New York City with an unbroken history?

I am researching the material culture of the congregation of the Spanish and
Portuguese Synagogue (1654), and would like to establish its chronological
place among the longest-standing institutions in the city.

Many thanks.
