- The Home News magazine was first issued in 1957 to keep the public informed about the activities and operation of the Jewish Home for the Aged and Baycrest Hospital. Initially, it also provided residents with a forum for expression as some of them sat on the magazine's Editorial Board. In Sept. 1969, the publication changed its name to Baycrest News to reflect Baycrest's name change to the Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care. Another change to the publication took place in 1982, when its format was altered from a magazine to a tabloid. It was issued between three and four times each year. Baycrest News is no longer published.
- Scope and Content
- Sub-series consists of issues of the Baycrest News and its predecessor, Home News.

- The Ostrowtzer Relief Committee in New York, initially established in 1937 as the United Ostrowzer Relief Committee, brought together various Ostrowtzer organizations, including the two branches of the Workmen's Circle, the Ostrowtzer synagogue, and the International Worker’s Order Ostrowtzer branch. Its mission was to provide aid to Ostrowtzers in need. Over the following fifteen years, the committee successfully collected a total of $23,744.58.
- The funds collected were put to meaningful use. From 1937 to 1939, money was directed towards various charitable institutions in Ostrowiec, including the Orphan's home. In 1940, the committee extended its support to Ostrowtzers in Wilna and Kowno facing challenging circumstances. Following the Second World War, the committee continued its mission, collaborating with committees in North American and Europe to send money to aid survivors in Europe and Israel. The committee ceased operations in 1952.
- Scope and Content
- Sub-series consists of correspondence from the Ostrowtzer Relief Committee in New York to Max Hartstone and the United Ostrowtzer Hilfs Committee. The materials document various matters relating to relief efforts for Holocaust survivors and organizational concerns within the Ostrovtzer community.
