The Jewish Archive of Chile (Spanish: Archivo Judío de Chile; AJCL) is a Chilean non-governmental and non-profit organization that preserves a collection of written and audiovisual material from the history of the Jews in Chile. 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]
