The Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Denver in Denver, Colorado partners with the RMJHS and Ira M.

The first director was Belle Marcus and Dr. Jeanne E. Abrams became the director in 1982. The Beck Archives became a fully integrated part of University of Denver Penrose Library (now University Libraries) Special Collections and Archives in 1995.
