History / Biographical
Ita Aber was born in Montreal, in 1932 and grew up in a family dedicated to Zionist and charitable causes. She later moved to New York, where she made her name as an artist. As described in a 2001 article; "Ita Aber is an artist who delights in unconventional formats that provide unique and startling insights into Jewish Life. Her work is found in almost every major Jewish museum throughout the world. She is a master of the fabric arts, which is by its very nature, an interdisciplinary field. As practiced by Ita Aber, the fabric arts explode in scale to include the diverse skills of embroidering, beadwork, sewing, appliqué, silkscreen, jewelry design, weaving, painting, sculpture, and assemblage. The stunning range of her talents is reflected in the vast array of work and Judaic objects she has produced, from wall hangings, jewelry, and sculpture to Torah covers, etrog boxes, and Purim masks." Ita Aber is also known as a conservator of textiles, an art historian, a curator, teacher, and the author of The Art of Judaic Needlework: Traditional and Contemporary designs (Scribner 1979).

History / Biographical
Allan Bronfman (1895-1980) was born in Brandon, Manitoba. He was a barrister, industrialist, philanthropist and a Zionist. He studied law at the University of Manitoba, and obtained his law degree at the age of 22. At the age of 24, he became the chairman of a Jewish orphanage in Winnipeg. In 1924, he left Winnipeg for Montreal, and joined the family's liquor business, Seagram's Ltd., where he served as vice-president. He was a founder and the driving force behind the creation of Montreal's Jewish General Hospital, where he served as its first president, a post which lasted 25 years, as well as the founder of the Canadian Friends of Hebrew University in Israel. His wife Lucy Bronfman (1897-1983) was born Lucy Bilsky to parents Pauline and Moses Bilsky of Ottawa. One of her sisters was Lillian Bilsky Freiman of Ottawa, former president of the Hadassah Organization of Canada, social organizer, philanthropist, and community leader. Lucy was also active in charitable Jewish and Canadian organizations. These activities included her service as Chairman of the Hospitality Committee for the Jewish General Hospital Ball in 1938. She also served as Honorary Chairman of a concert given for the Canadian Aid to Russia Fund in 1943. Lucy and Allan had three children, Mona, Edward, and Peter. Mona (1924-1950) was active in charitable and artistic endeavors. In 1935, she served as president of the Montreal children's committee of the King George V Jubilee Forest Drive, while her aunt Lillian Bilsky Freiman served as national chairman of the organization and helped to inspire and organize the children's committee. Edward (1927-2005), and Peter (1929-1996) started the holding company and investment vehicle Edper Investments Ltd. in 1959. Edward was committed to the philanthropic tradition handed down from his parents; he was very active in charitable organizations such as the Canadian Council for Christians and Jews, the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business, the Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research, and the Canadian Psychiatric Research Foundation. In 1989 Edward formed the Edward Bronfman Family Foundation, a member of Philanthropic Foundations of Canada. As documented in Mary Seeman's chapter on Edward in the CPRF 25th Anniversary Book, the Edward Bronfman Family Foundation created a $1.5 million endowment fund in 2001, in partnership with the Canadian Psychiatric Research Foundation, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health Foundation, and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research to support a Postdoctoral Fellowship Award in the area of mood disorders. Named the Mona Bronfman Sheckman Post-Doctoral Fellowship Award, it commemorates the life of Edward's sister Mona, who suffered from severe post-partum depression and committed suicide in 1950 at age 26.

History / Biographical
The Joseph family was one of the earliest Jewish families to settle in Quebec. Irene Joseph (1885 1940), a writer and community worker, married Martin Wolff, (1881 1948) engineer and historian, and they had six daughters. The lives and thoughts of all these individuals are reflected in this fonds. The earliest portions of the fonds contains considerable information about the life of Abraham Joseph (1815-1886), a successful businessman involved in numerous commercial enterprises, including leadership roles in the Quebec Board of Trade and the Banque Nationale. The greater part of this portion of the fonds is connected to Abraham Joseph's diaries, which are a valuable early record of Jewish life and material culture in Quebec. Much of the material in the later series of the fonds documents the life of the Wolff family in Montreal and Quebec in the early 20th century until the late 1940s, and includes information about quotidian life and religious and social customs as practiced by a middle-class Jewish family of that era. Though observant Jews, the Wolff family members mixed with and were accepted by the larger community, making this fonds a source of information on many aspects of Canadian society as well as that of Great Britain. The fonds includes a special emphasis on the work and writings of Annette Wolff, who took on the role of family historian. The Joseph and Wolff family fonds contains material of potential interest to historians, students of Jewish life in Canada and women's studies, social scientists, psychologists, journalists, and authors.
Custodial History
The majority of this fonds was donated in increments, over a period of several years, by sisters Annette Wolff, Rosetta Wolff Elkin, and Esther Wolff Blaustein, with the greatest part of the collection coming from Annette Wolff. A small percentage of the material was donated by Rachel Wolff Esar, and a few files were deposited much earlier by Martin Wolff.
