Our finding aids enable users to identify materials in our collections that are of interest and relevance to their research. This information may include: descriptions of a collection’s overall scope and content; details about individuals, topics, and organizations referenced in the records; and a file inventory.
Many of our collections are arranged by the global JDC office (e.g. Geneva, Istanbul, New York) where the records were created. Other collections describe the work of specific initiatives or programs, such as DORSA, the Dominican Republic Settlement Association.
File titles in most finding aids are linked directly to our online collections database. Click on the file title to access the digitized file. Click on the “Look Inside” tab to view the records within the file, including full PDFs of the original documents. (More search tips.)
Not all collections have finding aids available online. If you have further questions about collections which do not yet have finding aids, please contact us.
Access to JDC archival materials is governed by our Access & Restrictions Policy.
