The Alex Dworkin Canadian Jewish Archives
(formerly known as the Canadian Jewish Congress Charities Committee
National Archives) is a program of Jewish
Federations of Canada-UIA, 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.
