Biographical history
Rosetta Maud Elkin, born May 7, 1914, was the daughter of Martin and Irene Wolff, descendants of the Hart-Joseph families. She was an independent member of the Sephardi-Ashkenazi Relations Committee (SARC), and involved in the Allied Jewish Community Services (AJCS) and its Comité sur le fait français, which was conceived to bridge social gaps between French Quebecois and anglo Jewish Quebecois communities. Elkin was a dedicated community volunteer and received many awards throughout her lifetime accordingly. Rosetta Elkin was married to Victor Elkin, and her siblings (and their spouses) included Sarah and Phil Orkin, Annette Wolff, Rachel and Joe Esar, Esther and Henry Blaustein, and Fanny Wolff.
Custodial history
Scope and content
The fonds is comprised mostly of records which demonstrate Rosetta Elkin's involvement in Jewish social relations within a broader Canadian context, centering in particular around French Canadian-Jewish relations in the wake of mounting Quebec nationalism in the 1960s and 1970s. This includes reports, meeting minutes, memos, and correspondence pertaining to the Comité sur le fait français and its offshoot, Project Action Rapprochement. Additionally, many plans, reports, meeting minutes, and organization charts pertaining to the Sephardi-Askenazi Relations Committee (SARC) committee (for which Elkin sat on the board) can be found in the fonds. Memos and correspondence with the Allied Jewish Community Services are also found in the fonds, along with articles, research, and speeches about French Canadian-Jewish relations.
