About us
The Association for Canadian Jewish Studies/ l’Association d’études juives canadiennes was founded in 1976 as the Canadian Jewish Historical Society/ Société d’histoire juive canadienne.
The original aim of the society was to promote and disseminate historical research concerning the engagement of Jews to Canadian society. It did so via the publication of the Canadian Jewish Historical Society Journal (1977-1988), an annual conference, held in conjunction with the Canadian Historical Association at the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences (CFHSS) Congress and by occasional papers and lectures.
In 1993 the Canadian Jewish Historical Society began the publication of a new annual scholarly journal, Canadian Jewish Studies / Études juives canadiennes.
À propos de l’association
L’Association d’études juives canadiennes (Aéjc) a été fondée en 1976 sous le nom de Société d’histoire juive canadienne.
L’objectif initial de la Société était de promouvoir la recherche historique relative à l’engagement des Juifs envers la société canadienne et d’en diffuser les résultats, ce qui fut effectué par le biais de la publication du Journal-Société de l’histoire juive canadienne (1977-1988), d’un congrès annuel tenu conjointement avec la Société historique du Canada au Congrès des sciences sociales et humaines (les “savantes”), ainsi par la publication de documents hors-série et par des conférences.
En 1993, la Société a lancé la publication d’une nouvelle revue scientifique annuelle, Études juives canadiennes.
