Since 1914, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, Inc. (JDC) has
served as the overseas arm of the American Jewish community. Our mission is to
serve the needs of Jews throughout the world, particularly where their lives as
Jews are threatened or made more difficult. Sponsoring programs of relief, rescue
and renewal and helping Israel address its most urgent social challenges, the JDC
is committed to the idea that all Jews are responsible for one another.
The JDC Archives document the operations and activities of the organization
since 1914 in both text and photographic images. The material available is
utilized by students and researchers of Jewish history in the 20th century.
The Archives hold collections about administration, overseas administration,
organization, and the various areas of work. They also contain country files for
the USSR, Switzerland, Rumania, Lithuania, Germany, France, England,
Czechoslovakia, China, and Austria.
