Textes de référence
Since 1914, the Archives’ mandate has been to collect, preserve, and make available original documents, photographs and recordings that tell the social, economic, and cultural stories of Montreal’s Jewish community.
Structure administrative
Gestion des archives courantes et intermédiaires et politiques de collecte
Local institutions and organizations, as well as families and individuals can donate records. We accept:
- Family papers (correspondence, journals or diaries, vital records, biographical and genealogical information)
- Photographs and already digitized audiovisual material
- Business, organizational, or institutional records (minutes, by-laws, etc.)
- Posters, playbills, programmes, and ephemera from the community
Note that archival material is original and unique. As a result, we do not accept photocopied materials. Similarly, the Archives does not take published material due to reasons of copyright legislation.

For those unable to visit the Archives, send your research questions by email or regular mail. Archives staff can provide 30 minutes of research, primarily to advise on relevant records held by the Archives. Additional time will be charged hourly at a predetermined rate, according to our service fees.

If you would like research assistance beyond what the Archives is able to provide, we recommend hiring a professional researcher. The Archives can occasionally assist in locating a researcher, however the Archives is not able to answer questions about researcher availabilities, services, or charges.
