You're so right about missing scholarship. . . I was looking at the website of the National Museum of American Jewish History, thinking you might visit (it's on Independence Mall!) http://nmajh.org/hoursandadmission/

searched on "convert" and "conversion" and barely a word--none relevant.
The American Jewish Historical Society http://www.ajhs.org/
I searched the collections on "conversion." Guess what: most of the hits were on conversion of Jews TO Christianity.
You could try the larger site, http://www.cjh.org/
All of which goes into any thesis proposal--or book proposal--to prove the need for this study!
