“That four great nations, flushed with victory and stung with injury stay the hand of vengeance and voluntarily submit their captive enemies to the judgment of the law is one of the most significant tributes that Power has ever paid to Reason.” — from Jackson's Opening Statement before the International Military Tribunal

The Robert H. Jackson Center houses documents and artifacts associated with the life and ideas of Justice Jackson. In addition to material directly relating to Robert H. Jackson, the Jackson Center collects archival material and oral histories in order to preserve the life and work of former Nuremberg prosecutors and staff.

To house and display the growing collection, the Jackson Center completed construction of an archive storage room, which meets state-of-the-art archival standards, an exhibit gallery and a research room in November 2006. 

Western New York Business First Brick by Brick awards recognized supervising architect Habiterra Architecture and Landscape Architecture as a finalist in the Best Historic Renovation Project category for their work on this construction/renovation project.

David Walter was the lead architect supported by C. Timothy Przepiora, Ed Hanson Sr. and Randy Beckerink. E.E. Austin & Sons Inc. was the general contractor.

The November 17, 2006, gallery opening honored Harold Jackson Adams, a Jackson nephew and founding member of the Jackson Center. The exhibit, Robert H. Jackson: A personal view, featured family photos and artifacts from Adams’s personal collection.

Perpetrators, an exhibition of large-scale prints by internationally recognized artist Sidney Chafetz, is on exhibit in the gallery through June 1, 2008.
