Using a multidisciplinary methodology, including Historical Geographic Information Systems (HGIS), Glazer’s journal Publisher(s) offers a new lens through which to view and map the social geography of this community. Our study contributes to a growing body of literature on immigrant Urban History Review / Revue d'histoire urbaine settlement, which has shown that such clustering encouraged economic independence and social mobility. Characterized by a high degree of diversity in ISSN ethnicity and commerce, the St. Lawrence Boulevard corridor was an ideal location for Jewish newcomers to set down roots.
