How to donate to CJCCC
Archival Donations
Copyright issues affecting donations:
As an archival repository, we are primarily interested in
unique, unpublished materials. Copies of original material are
rarely accepted for archival preservation due to the ownership and
copyright restrictions that may arise from their use and
distribution.
Collecting mandate:
The CJCCC National Archives is mandated to collect material of
historical interest pertaining to the experience of Jews in Canada,
with an emphasis on the province of Quebec. As there are local
Jewish archives and museums in several other communities across the
country, consultation with another repository is often necessary
before we can accept a collection of particular regional interest.
Likewise, in the case of materials pertaining to the Holocaust, we
will often refer donors to a repository mandated to collect in that
area.
Within the above parameters, we are interested in a broad range
of subject matter, including materials in all media. Please contact
the Archives Director to
discuss your specific questions.
Monetary issues pertaining to archival donations
The CJCCC National Archives is not able to purchase historical
materials. However, in some cases, a Canadian tax receipt can be
issued to the donor for a portion of the value of the donated
materials, under the category of Gifts-In-Kind. If an external
appraisal of the material is required, the cost of this appraisal
must be borne by the donor.
Charitable Donations
The Canadian Jewish Congress Charities Committee is a registered
charity. Donations are always greatly appreciated, as they help us
to continue our work in serving the public.
Directed donations can be made to the CJCCC National
Archives, to the Human Promise project,
or to the Canadian Jewish Congress Charities
Committee in general. Although we also accept cheques,
contributions can more conveniently be made online, though the
Canada Helps website.
