The Alex Dworkin Canadian Jewish Archives
(formerly known as the Canadian Jewish Congress Charities Committee
National Archives) is a program of UIA-Canada,
and is supported by the Jewish Community Foundation of Montreal's
Alex Dworkin Foundation for Jewish Archives, through
Federation CJA. Following the cessation of operations of Canadian
Jewish Congress and its charitable trust, on January 1, 2016 the
Archives officially inaugurated its new name and became a program
operating directly under the auspices of Jewish Federations
Canada-UIA.
The Alex Dworkin Canadian Jewish Archives
collects and preserves documentation on all aspects of the Jewish
presence in Quebec and Canada. Notable aspects of the Canadian
Jewish community reflected in the collections include immigration,
integration into Canadian society, community organization, Zionism,
human rights issues and discrimination, oppressed Jewry in other
countries, education, literature, and genealogy.
Since January 1, 1992, we have benefited from the status of
"Service agréé d'archives privées," (SAPA), a
program of the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du
Québec.
