    The Past is not a Foreign Country: Archival Mentalities and the Development of the Canadian-Jewish Community’s Archival Landscape During the Nineteen Seventies by Amir Lavie A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information Anne Tanenbaum Centre for Jewish Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Amir Lavie 2019 The Past is not a Foreign Country: Archival Mentalities and the Development of the Canadian-Jewish Community’s Archival Landscape During the Nineteen Seventies Amir Lavie Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information Anne Tanenbaum Centre for Jewish Studies University of Toronto 2019 Abstract Through an analysis of a plethora of contemporary published and archival materials, this dissertation examines the processes of creation, growth, consolidation, and professionalization of the Canadian Jewish community’s archival programs during the 1970s.

The dissertation thus offers a case study that proves just how embedded is the archival domain within the social realities that surround it and how the overarching goal of any archival repository, to accurately
