    Historique

    Contexte géographique et culturel

    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.

    Services d'aide à la recherche

    The Jewish Public Library Archive is pleased to offer reference and research services to the public, whether in-person, by e-mail, or telephone. Please note that due to space restrictions, appointments must be scheduled ahead of time for physical visits.

    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.
