The Ottawa Jewish Archives (OJA) collects records that tell the story of Jewish community life in Ottawa and the National Capital Region from the 1890s to the current day. The OJA accepts donations of documents, photographs, recorded media, and ephemera that help tell the story of Jewish community life in Ottawa.
Their collection includes materials produced by, and about, individuals, families, businesses, congregations, community organizations, and associations established and maintained by Ottawa’s Jewish community. These resources include:
- Ottawa Jewish Archives fonds
- Complete collection of the Ottawa Jewish Bulletin Archives (1937–2013),
- the OJA Blog ‘L’Dor V’Dor,
- their podcast, 613 Archives Podcast
- the Canadian Jewish Heritage Network, and
- access to the Shoah Foundation’s Visual History Archive.
