Teaser Trailer for recollections with the JPL podcast, coming May 1, 2024.

A gathering of recollections, regarding our collections.

May 2024 marks the 110th anniversary of the Jewish Public Library. Our opening season of the recollections with the JPL podcast is a celebration of our Jewish leftist roots in Montreal. We weave together interviews with scholars, activists, teachers, and fellow archivists that discuss topics such as Jewish immigration to Canada, Jewish languages and culture, labour and feminist movements in the 20th century, and the diversity of political ideologies that existed within the 'left'.

recollections with the JPL is a production of the Jewish Public Library Archives and Special Collections.

Thank you to all of our guests: Pierre Anctil, Sam Bick, Moishe Dolman, Shannon Hodge, Aaron Krishtalka, Melanie Leavitt, Eddie Paul, and Ester Reiter.
