Both side and back doors are jealousies and All aluminum on windows and doors are oxidized. I'd love to keep the period if the home original. What can I do with the doors and windows to bring them back to life!

Use steel wool soap pads (SOS or Brillo). They should take the rusty stuff right off.

Painting them by picking a color of shutters or contrast color from the siding or brick and for the jealousies remove the glass, I know that a job itself but worth all the elbow grease and paint the doors th same. A photo would be helpful?
I cleaned mine with steel wool soap pads like Brillo. Walmart has their own brand that even says "shines aluminum" on the box. All you have to add is a little water and elbow grease. :)
