- Custodial History
- This series’ original provenance is difficult to pinpoint, but the files before 1937 are likely to have belonged to Maurice A. Solkin when he was Executive Secretary of the Toronto office in the 1930s. Since the original series included correspondence addressed to Solkin’s successors, it is possible that Solkin’s files were inherited by them, used and/or added to: by Mandel Kraicer in the 1940s, Dan Drutz in the 1950s and Louis Poch in the 1960s and 1970s.
- Scope and Content
- Series consists of subject files relating to a variety of JIAS functions and relations with other organizations, along with reports and published documents, dating from 1935 to the early 1960s.
- Access Restriction
- Partially closed. Researchers must receive permission from the OJA director prior to accessing some of the records.
- Arrangement
- Series has been created and arranged by the archivist in chronological order. It was formerly a part of a series (MG2 I1a F) called “Executive Director’s reference files” which was a mixture of administrative records, correspondence, subject files, legal documents, and miscellaneous files that have now been separated into different series.

- Admin History/Bio
- The Y-Time was the official news organ of the Toronto YM-YWHA. The paper began in 1933 as the YMHA Bulletin and was originally produced as an annual publication. The Executive Committee was originally in charge of most of the content that was submitted to the editor for printing. In later years, the YM-YWHA's Publication Committee took over responsibility for producing the newspaper. It was mailed out, free of charge, to the YM-YWHA. membership until around 1978, when the paper ended.
- Scope and Content
- This sub-series consists of Y-Time newspapers produced by the YM-YWHA. The newspapers are organized by year, generally with six-to-ten issues per year. There are also some bound volumes of the periodicals.
- There are several missing issues, particularly from the years between 1936 and 1951. There is also some duplication between the bound issues and the loose issues, both of which have been kept due to the uniqueness of the record.
