The Ottawa Jewish Archives

The Ottawa Jewish Archives We are a small community archives with a big heart, working to preserve the history of the Jewish community in Ottawa and surrounding areas.

At the Ottawa Jewish Archives, under the umbrella of the Jewish Federation of Ottawa, we collect, preserve and make available for use, materials which document the history, growth and development of the Jewish community within Ottawa and the National Capital Region. The Archives also holds a complete run of the Ottawa Jewish Bulletin from 1937 to present. The Bulletin collection has recently been made freely accessible online: www.archive.org/details/ottawajewisharchives
