Finding Aid
Subcollection: Organizations

Extent: 678 files

The Organizations subcollection details JDC’s partnerships with governmental and non-governmental organizations, including several United Nations agencies such as the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA); Jewish and nonsectarian philanthropic agencies; and U.S. and foreign governmental agencies during the years 1945-1954.

Arrangement
The Organizations subcollection is organized into five record groups:

U.S. Government
Foreign Governments
Intergovernmental
Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs)
Companies

Within each record group, files are arranged alphabetically by the organization’s name. Those organizations for which there are at least three files are categorized in series within the record groups, with each series titled according to the organization’s name. These series are listed first in alphabetical order. All of the files which appear after these series reflect organizations that have fewer than three files and therefore are not assigned to a series.

Record Group: Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs)

As noted above, this record group is arranged in two separate alphabetical spans. The first, Group 1, is an alphabetical list of series. Series exist when there are multiple files or folders for the same organization. These are labeled as the name of the organization for which all files within the series are housed. For example, in Series 1. Alliance Israelite Universelle includes all files that relate to the Alliance Israelite Universelle. The second alphabetical span, labeled as Group 2, covers the organizations for which there is less material and therefore not arranged into separate series. Group 2 includes files named for specific organizations such as Agudas Harabanim or folders labeled as Miscellaneous A, which include individual documents for a number of different organizations beginning with the letter “A.”
