Scope and Content
Accession consists of original and copy photographs and textual records related to Rae Watson and the I. L. Peretz School. Records related to Rae Watson include photographs of Rae with her children, a photograph of Rae at Kindervelt, Rae's Board of Education campaign card, correspondence, a Workmen's Circle Arbiter Ring membership certificate (for Morris Watson), stock certificates for the Labour Lyceum and Eldorado Camp, newspaper clippings, and a journal that she likely kept documenting a summer at Long Branch cottage (1912) and which contains loose pages of poetry. The bulk of the records are in Yiddish or Russian.
I. L. Peretz School records include three group photographs of students and teachers and one group photograph likely of the Workmen's Circle or I.L. Peretz School Executive. Identified in the Executive photograph is (front row, left to right): Morris Longbord, (?), (?), Paul Frumhartz, Borris Litman, Mrs. Seltzer, and (?). Identified in the three group photographs of students and teachers is Isaac Matenko (man standing with moustache).
Custodial History
These records were loaned to Karen Levine as part of her work with the MHSO. She discovered them recently in her basement and attempted to contact the donors to return them, but could not locate anyone. Thus, she decided to offer them to the OJA. (the Rae Watson records had been lent by her son Dave Watson).
Administrative History
Rae (Rachael) Watson was born in Russia on December 3, 1887 to Sadie (Sara) and Joseph Rivkin. Rae immigrated to Toronto around 1910 and married Morris Watson on November 19, 1912. Together they had two sons: Augustus (b. 3 Dec. 1913 - d. 7 July 1988) and David. Rae worked as a dressmaker and was a leader in Toronto's labour movement. She was also a member of the Yiddisher Arbiter Froyen Fareyn (Jewish Women's Labour League), and unsuccessfully ran for the Board of Education in Ward 5 in 1932 and 1933. Through her involvement in the Jewish Women's Labour League, she was one of the founders of Camp Kindervelt (later Camp Naivelt) in 1925. Rae passed away on December 12, 1941.
Descriptive Notes
A copy of Watson's obituary and other biographical research papers are attached to the accession record, although most details have been included in the biographical sketch.

Custodial History
Most of the photographs were in the custody of Ted Winick, who sat on the Jewish Community Centre Archives Committee. They were donated to the OJA in 1982 and 1984.
Scope and Content
This sub-series contains photographs collected by the Jewish Community Centre Archives Committee. The photographs document the executive and general membership, special events, sporting groups and teams, and YM-YWHA owned camps and properties, including the construction and completion program of the northern branch. There are also a small amount of textual records and an architectural drawing, which has been kept in the file with the accompanying graphic images.
Arrangement of the photographs has been imposed by the archivist, as no original order existed when the records were acquired. The photos have been arranged into alphabetical files by function, where one exists, otherwise they have been grouped together by subject, event or individual. This approach was taken so that images pertaining to certain subjects or events could be easily accessed by the researcher. The images have been described at the file and item levels.

Admin History/Bio
The UJRA Collection Committee was appointed in November 1951 when the UJRA's Loan Committee, established earlier that year, decided to hand over responsibility for collection of its loans, the oldest of which dated back to 1939. The Collections Committee worked hand in hand with the Loan Committee, and engaged the services of the Guardian Credit Corporation to locate delinquent borrowers and encourage repayment. Loans had been granted by the Canadian Jewish Congress direct and by the Hebrew Free Loan, and guaranteed by CJC, Jewish Child & Family Service, Jewish Immigrant Aid Services and UJRA. The Collection Committee operated with a flexible policy, considering loans on a case-by-case basis. In each case they had to ascertain if the monies given were relief or loans, whether documents of indebtedness, such as chattel mortgages or promissory notes, had been obtained, and whether these were still valued. Mindful that it was connected to a social services agency and not an inflexible financial institution, the committee stopped short of forceful measures, and some loans were deemed unrecoverable and written off.
Scope and Content
Sub-series consists of minutes, reports, lists and correspondence of the UJRA Collections Committee. The records relate to the creation of collection procedure, policies and rates, lists of loan recipients with the amounts owing and comments, and loan account updates/outlines with decisions reached at committee meetings. The records are arranged in chronological order.
Notes
This sub-series is composed of former RG 210B and files from RG 296.
Access Restriction
Partially closed. Researchers must receive permission from the OJA director prior to accessing some of the records.
Related Material
Related records may be found in the minutes of the Loan Committee, in sub-series 6 of series 4. Client case files may match with cases discussed by the Collections Committee; these case files are in sub-series 11: Refugee case files.
